Comments/Problems:
The program to partition the hard drive was very intimidating; for example, it wasn't obvious to reformat a partition in use, one hilites it, hits enter, and then proceeds. An instruction on the instruction to choose the partition to have a file system put on it would have help me get through the install faster.
Other than that, however, the install worked very well. I only had to hit next and it installed.
