If I let it go it says I do not have a valid kernel, it doesn't pick up the
kernel.GENERIC automatically

I'm installing 4, I never saw any screen s for setting up my keyboard
mapping or any of the xwindows stuff. I probably jumped the gun on one of
the screens. I don't think it's a problem with the distribution, I think it
was the user.

Thanks thats what I figured, I'm just debating whether to start from
scratch as this was my first run through the install process and I don't
want to realize further down the road that I messed something up or missed
something. I haven't done any custom configuration yet so It would be easy
to start over.
