Comments/Problems:
Install was via serial console and went well. First attempt with web
console gave me problems,
but using a real terminal worked better. On some screens the cursor
didn't show up, but I guessed
my way through those.
I tried using LVM but got an message that the kernel didn't have a
module for it. Installing with ext3
worked just fine.
