Comments/Problems:

Before the languagechooser came up, while the framebuffer and bogl are
loading, there is an annoyingly bright white screen that is displayed for
perhaps 1/4th of a second. Lot of flickering going on there, I hope it's
not at a harmful frequency.

I accidentially swtiched virtual consoles to tty2, and on switch back,
the screen was corrupted and the installer had to be restarted.

The base system silently installed the 2.4.25 kernel. Of course no 2.6
kernel deb was on the netinst iso. I also got discover1, which at least
matches the installed kernel.

Now I've done an install from USB, using stock images from the archive.
I booted with "linux26", and away it went. The three issues noted in the
first installation report are still minor problems.

issues I reported are resolved.
