I leave it blank. 3. it asks for a new account. I make "sudoer". 4. it wants a password. I give one. 5. clock-setup: rdate: 0.debian.pool.ntp.org: Name or service not known (yep, known problem with the DNS server used) 6. I choose a time zone and switch to vt4 so I can see messages. 7. The messages scroll too quickly for me to see. Something about SCSI, among other things. Segfault. So I tried building 60d6e50c from the packaging repo.
