[Bob Trevithick <bob.trevithick@xxxxxxxxx>]

Okay, I'll try to wrap my head around the whole problem and see if I
can write it up coherently.. after a bit of sleep. :)

In the meantime, with the USB install, I have the same issues I noted
in my opening post.. and looking at the USB stick I notice that the
boot.cat file still has the wrong md5sum (if that's relevant.)  So, my
initial post still stands if any of those things are of interest at
the moment.

Tomorrow I'll see precisely what it takes to overcome the dim display
problem.  And I have to sort out wireless and a few other things.  Let
me know, please, what would be most useful to you folks at this stage.

Night,
Bob
