Comments/Problems:
Installing worked fine until the reboot, whereafter it could not find
the IDE hard drive. Power-cycling fixed this, so I imagine it is a
problem with the power management. Have been recommended to compile
custom kernel with APM, so going to try that. Also, small note, not
sure if this is the install or tasksel problem, but tasksel fails
completely to install desktop environment, citing problems with
various kde elements --> claims they are all uninstallable. Hoping
this is some sort of testing bug, but it has stuck around for a couple
of days.
