Try as I might, I couldn't get it to do anything when I tried to do anything after configuring the keyboard. I installed woody and did a dist-upgrade to sarge instead.
But WFM! Are we talking the latest Sarge CD versions? So what exact steps do you follow:Are you telling him to partition a drive or are you using an already formatted drive?
I just did this yesterday and it works just fine, except: do everything vanilla and use a partition that exixtst and let him format it.
He formats the partition, installs the system and grub and reboots.Then when grup comes up hit 'e' so you can add "vga=9" to his boot parm so you can see something when grub boots. After that config gets control.
