Comments/Problems:
No real problems. except
When configuring X it asks for the chipset of the graphics hardware. I had to
"know" to use lspci to discover this information.
I then discovered it was an intel mobile chipset.
I have not yet suceeded in getting X working. I am attempting to use Ubumtu
or XOrg packages for this.
The install mirror site www.mirror.ac.uk does not work. I believe that the
mirror.ac.uk site was changed some time ago, so the addresses may well have
changed.
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
and ideas you had during the initial install.>
