Clean install success

[Elaine Normandy]

I did a clean install from CDs without any problems.  I was one of those 
who had a problem booting from CD1 for Test 2.  I've checked out all my 
peripherals and they seem to be working:

Palm Pilot III
Epson Perfection 610 Scanner
ActionLaser 1500 (Had to use HP Laserjet 3 driver)
HP Deskjet 5550
Kodak DX3900 Digital Camera

I had a little difficulty with my backup data CD, but fortunately had 
rsync'd my home directory to a local fileserver.  Redundancy is a Good 
Thing.  Keeping a tar'd file of my old etc directory was also a good 
thing, since I had to refer to it to configure the scanner.

I have a generic Athlon built by a local storefront six months ago, and 
have been very pleased with how well Linux works on it, especially 
considering all my peripherals were chosen before I decided to migrate 
my personal desktop to Linux.
