The AMD64+mac Desktop image from 2013-09-24 still freezes up at the end of 
the installation around the time to eject the disc and reboot.  After I've 
walked through the other two tests, I'll leave it running without turning 
off zRAM to see if the installed system still freezes up.   I suspect that 
it will, though I can't force it on demand.
