Comments/Problems:
1st BOOT AFTER THE INSTALLATION I WAS UNABLE TO LOG IN AS ROOT [WRONG
PASSWORD]
LOG IN AS A USER DID WORK.
I HAD TO DO A RESCUE REBOOT OR
BOOT WITH KERNEL CMD-LINE root=/dev/sda7 init=/bin/bash rw ,
THEN DO PASSWD , RE-ENTERING THE PASSWORD, AFTER THAT ALL WAS WELL
ONGOING PROBLEM AT LEAST SINCE DEBIAN 8
THERE WAS ANOTHER DIFFICULTY WITH THE VGA CARD: WORDS WERE SHIFTED MUCH
TOO FAR
TO THE LEFT WHICH COULD NOT BE CORRECTED BY THE MONITOR [ACER].
EVENTUALLY ADDING A KERNEL OPTION append="video=VGA-1:800x600R-16@60"
DID THE TRICK HOWEVER HOW TO PHRASE THAT SENTENCE WAS HARD TO FIND!
