FC2 test1: install glitches and comments (resend, last one was too big)

Same with my Dell - so it's probably a laptop display thing.

Listed in the release notes.

C'mon, at 19-25¢ per, I think using a CD-R is justifiable unless you 
don't have easy access to a recycling facility. Not only that, but they 
read much quicker for the install.

It doesn't - that's why an ISO image is provided - they fit perfectly on 
the business card or 110mb mini CD-R's. A CD-RW works as well.

configure /etc/cpuspeed.conf with the correct module. On my dell, it was 
speedstep-smi I believe. Once that was in, no more message, and I want 
to say my battery life improved to boot - but that could be the placebo 
effect :-) It would have been nice if this was auto-detected by kudzu 
and then inserted though.

Why, so we can skim and still not read it, but be annoyed by the fact 
that we have to scroll first? Great for lawyers, not so great for lazy 
admins, who are still doing a bulk of the installs.

This can be done via the menu when configuring the login screen. Putting 
it less in the open discourages this overall bad practice.
