Hi all,
	Before torrenting a Live image I thought I would try the boot.iso since I have 
had problems with this kind of stuff in the past.
No go, I get to the part where it shows a box titled Loading SCSI drivers
and in the box it says "loading pata_sis driver" and then nothing for ~2:45(that 
  is 2 minutes and 45 seconds) then the box and message go away and then I wait 
another 2:45 and the next screen (Choose a Language) comes up. Then I go through 
the following screens to do an ftp install and after I enter the mirror and 
directory and then I have to wait another 2:45 for network activity to start and 
then the screen shows "retrieving images/stage2.img...".
The second time I tried to do the same network install, I had to wait 3:45 
between the events where it was a 2:45 wait previously.
Eventually I was able to do the install but something is not right with these 
long waits during the install.
My guess is that the SiS driver still is not sorted out.
