Never mind. Anyway. A lovely clean install -- no errors, network detected fine. It all went very smoothly given that this is extremely bleeding edge hardware. Haven't had a chance to try the SATA chipset yet however. One small bug: After task selection, when the first apt-get is run, it asks for 'The drive /cdrom to be inserted.". Making sure the CD is in and pressing return just results in the same question being asked. I had to manually add /cdrom to /etc/fstab and mount it by hand before the install of the packages could proceed. I'm sure this worked in beta2 -- the CD would be mounted for me & I wouldn't have to do anything. Apart from that glitch, everything seems to work. Grabbed an SMP kernel & off it went! I have some criticisms of the choice of wording for some of the questions from the POV of a 'novice linux installer' but I'll work those into a coherent set of suggestions & alternate wordings before submitting anything. I'll be trying beta3 on a sparc machine here btw, so will report on that also. cheers all!
