[K12OSN] 4.2 beta

[Ascension Tech]

I wasn't having any boot problems ever with 4.2, but.beta9 for me was
acting REALLY weird.  I let the first disk go all night.  It seemed to
be installing packages but very
 slowly and the "Remaining Time:" jumped way up.  I tried beta7 and it
got stuck just as x started and before  the software agrement and
first user creation.   I ended up just going back to beta2.   I am
using a pretty ancient cdrom, although I'm sure people with boot
problems have tried different cdroms.  just thought I'd mention it.
