Hrmmm... interesting.  So as I said, this time, I was able to completely 
install, get a login and a desktop.  Let it sit a bit because I had 
other things to look into, at the screen just blanked and that's it, no 
more desktop :(

BUT, if I switch to a different VT then back to VT7, it comes back.  So 
perhaps there's a problem with the screen blanking.  Looking at the 
Screen Saver settings, the default is "Blank Screen" and if I blank the 
screen manually from there (File/"Blank Screen Now") I am able to 
un-blank by moving the pointer a bit.

So I knocked the blank time down and waited to see what happens when it 
blanks on timer.  This time I was able to un-blank it by mouse again. 
At this point, I have no idea whats going on here... but at least it's 
working.

On to ogra's other point, I'd be happy to test images for you, just, if 
you could, remind me about it.  I meant to do more testing this last 
time for Raring, but honestly, I had other things going on and didn't 
think about it until after the fact.  So just poke me when you need 
stuff tested for the AC100 and I'll help you out as much as I can :)
