Very same for me with complete expert hd install from /usr/local/cooker
The garbage appears to be an error with the eighth bit from the look of the
characters.
Boot into runlevel 3. Changing to runlevel 5 only gives me a grey screen
Install went good up until accepting the x configuration with the mouse. As
soon as I clicked on "yes", I lost the mouse cursor and had to clt-alt-delete
out of the install from another virtual terminal. This looks like the old PS/2
versus IMPS/2 mouse problem. I have an Intellimouse wheel mouse model 1.5a
PS/2. XF86Config is correct and the mouse works after rebooting.
I noticed there are two kernels installed. Hackkernel is the default and I am
using it now after having to install ppp package.
My /usr/local partition was not entered into fstab. I had to make an entry and
mount myself.
The new package selection is looking better. I don't get "lost".
BTW, the double and single quote keys have to be struck twice while I am
writing this email.
