Comments/Problems:
The USB support on this X40 is very odd. The USB key didn't work, whilst it did
on a T30. The USB HD only boots if you go into the Startup menu and configure
it and save and exit *every time*.
The netinst .iso was initially on /boot/newinstall and the installer couldn't
find it. I let it do a full search only for it to hang on these FAT: filesystem
panic, invalid access to entry ..... errors.
I had to hard reset and move the .iso to a better place.
I found the mouse setup a bit scary. Who the hell knows if their mouse is on
/dev/input/mice or not? I don't.
Also the configure xserver-xorg menu was a little daunting. As it started up
there in 1920x1440 and I had to scroll down the items to see 1024x768 defaultly
marked.
It would have been nice to install this laptop with all the korean
defaults, but in English. I am worried if I am missing fonts and how to
change input to hangul if I need to.
