Comments/Problems:
Painless and quick ;) Have also installed and configured X and KDE -
worked first time ;)
Interesting that d-i i386 installs 2.4.27 as default kernel whereas the
powerpc installer defaults to 2.6.8
Grub worked perfectly picking up both the Windows 98se and Xandros2.0
installations :)
Another success!
Thanks
Clive
