When you install you de-select the drivers you don't need and then once finished you press Q and say either yes or no or cancel.... - if I say Yes I get a white square in the top left corner of the screen - if I say No, the process keeps booting off the cdrom and I then install all the packages reboot and it can not configure itself because it tries to load all the drivers. How can I get the configuration file to write to the hard Drive ?
