Comments/Problems: After I got VMware to recognize my CD-ROM drive, the initial install went without a hitch. Took about
30 mins, and could have gone faster if I hadn't stopped to check out the installer along the way.
I was a little shy about letting the installer auto-partition the drive, as this is a Virtual Drive inside
VMware, so I parititioned manually, and it went fine. Everything went as advertised, and it was a very
pleasant experience. As a matter of fact, it was the quickest install ever.
The rest of the day was spent in getting X11 downloaded (350Mb takes a while) & up, but everything went pretty well.
only PROBLEM: Root did not have /sbin in $PATH during tasksel install, I had to move ldconfig & 3 others to /usr/sbin in order for install to procede.
