glad to hear you got it running!  i always
suggest "starting small" (conservative) and
work your way up.

a terse example would be, if the install asks
if you want to boot into a GUI, dont do it

the GUI stuff to make sure everything is fine.
if it's a go, then you can change the parms.

slow-n-easy is the way to go.
