Of course- <slap!> Silly me.
<chuckle> Those things are hard to follow! You must keep notes, eh?
But the CD isn't released until POST time, and you have to be quick
or the machine will boot from it again, just like the warning said.
"You should open the tray, but I won't let you." It would be clever
to eject and close the tray as part of the process.

Yes, the screens from rescue/root. The F4 screen is blank.
Also, why does it "validate" basedebs? A slow process that I *think*
an error from tar would serve the same purpose, assuming I understand
correctly that the purpose is a package integrity test.
