Comments/Problems:
I saw the "Validating %s" problem a few times as it downloaded debs.
When it was installing the kernel, I suspended the laptop. On resume, I got
this error:
An error was returned while trying to install the kernel into the
target system.
Kernel package `kernel-image-2.4.22-1-386'.
This is probably a fatal error.
You might try to select the kernel installation step again on the
main menu. That will allow you to select another kernel to install.
vt3 showed connection reset by peer; E: Some files failed to download.
Seems this is not very robust vs network problems. I re-ran the menu item
and it succeeded.
Other than that, no problems.
