Comments/Problems:

on the whole a very smooth installation, a few notes

* it found and installed over wireless pcmcia card,
however postinstall wireless card was not set up for use

* touchpad/mouse settings no good, (no acceleration and painfully slow
movement) much better response with generic mousedriver, xorg.conf
needs manual reconfigure
The following does not work
	Identifier	"Synaptics Touchpad"
	Driver		"synaptics"
Replaced with
	Identifier	"Generic Mouse"
	Driver		"mouse"
and appropriate settings.

* Humbly suggest, the program "screen" should be part of the default
installation for those who use it.

* I forget the selections, "standard", "laptop" and "desktop" used and
work fine, bringing up xorg (and installing gnome desktop)
"standard" + "laptop" appears to install xorg, but is not configured
to work as easily when a display manager and alternative window
manager is to be installed.

<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
      and ideas you had during the initial install.>
