Comments/Problems:

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

	Two peculiarities...

1) As the last few lines of the enclosed excerpt form installer/ syslog shows, the directory "/target/etc/mkinitramfs/" is not being created. Oh a hunch, I went to the F2 console and created it manually, then went back and re-did the install base system step, and the rest of the install proceeded to completion. The installed system is mostly OK as far as my limited testing has shown.

2) However, strangely, the "lspci" command seems to be missing from the installed system. I *was* able to get it (as part of the "pciutils" package) from the mirror via aptitude. So it's not missing completely.

	Full log files are available on request...

	Enjoy!

	Rick
