Comments/Problems: The network config said that my Airport card was on eth1, when in reality it is on eth0. The interesting
part is that it still worked during the installation. However, once I rebooted it did not work and I had
rewrite /etc/network/interfaces. This was easy for me, however I do not think that a new Linux user would
be overjoyed at the site of the command line with no working internet connections. Other than that I am
proud to say that everything went perfectly. Good job guys!


<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
and ideas you had during the initial install.>
I downloaded the .iso file from an http mirror and then burnt it to a CD-R usingDisk Utility from Apple. I then rebooted, held down the C key and everything went perfectly except for the above mentioned. I did not have to modify any config files by hand to get X-Free86 working and I have hardware video accelaration.
