THe main issues are resolved, but the first boot sequence after install of the files still comes up in 24 bit mode and produces an unreadable set of screens. Once that is done (by hit and miss keyboard entries) it switches to 16 bit graphics as instructed by xorg.conf and all is well. What I now want to achieve is to get past those first boot screens in a readable way so the whole install can be documented as working. I'll try to use a non-graphic first boot and see if that works (using boot parameter modification suggestions from here). Bo Berglund
