Comments/Problems:
When I selected the option for automatic partitioning of free space,
it would have been nice to be able to adjust the size of swap space.
Other than that, and the pause when it was trying to find DHCP over my
pppoe link, everything worked well. (Then there was the base-config
issue with pppoe, but I know that's a different package.)
