Comments/Problems:
Downloaded all 3 DVD's
Performed the graphical install, all went fine EXECEPT When prompted to scan for
the other DVD's the drive was 'locked' I forced drive open with a pin in
the mechanical overide hole for both extra DVD's and install went fine, also had
to do the same thing when prompted to insert the DVD's later in the install.
Once all done and finished on reboot, adding extra utilities that i use the
installer managed drive locking etc without problems.
( considered a success but newbees would be stumped )
Then installed the xfce4 as i trully hate the new gnome and had forgot to
set the option in the install at the begining.
Many thanks span
