Comments/Problems:
Immediatly after booting the install kernel for the 1st time off of the
cdrom, my laptop LCD screen starts to wildly flicker and is mostly
un-readable (I can see enough to tell it's at the "choose a language"
screen)... I have a DELL Latitude C400, it should be using the i830
module for video. Seems all my text mode terminals suffer from this
flickering. I am unable to continue the install.
