Comments/Problems:
- Installer window can be moved around by holding ctrl-command and
dragging. This is easier than you think when using VMware and trying
to escape the window, and it's quite confusing.
- Graphical Automated Install asked for preseed location (eg
www.emdebian.org) and seemed to download ok but base system install
failed with:
Debootstrap Error
Release file signed by unknown key (key id B5B7720097BB3B58) which I
note is referenced in the preseed file ala:
d-i apt-setup/local0/key string http://www.emdebian.org/0x97BB3B58.txt
- This apparently works for Neil Williams (copied):

Otherwise looking good - much improved!
