Yes. There were several bugs in 4.2 that affected EV5 1000's and EV4
1000As, so if your machine is a really a 1000A, use 4.3; otherwise you
should be OK with 4.2.

It depends on what your video hardware is. If you have VGA graphics
adapter, then you should be able to use the keyboard/monitor
("graphics") console. If you have a TGA graphics adapter, then you
need to use a serial console.

Yes.
