	First update.  Install completed.  Crashed when setting up LVM but that
can be done later.  On boot a couple of [FAILED] went past too fast to
see, guess I'll find out what soon enough.

	Message on firstboot that X server was not configured properly,
possibly not enough RAM. I got a console for 3-5s then a black screen
followed by a blank screen, then another console, cycling 2-3 times
until left with a blank screen. Could not Ctrl-Alt-Fn to a console.  

	Reboot brought up a login and so far things seem to be working.  Thanks
for your help.  I'll work through all the extras one by one (WLAN,
webcam, mic, extra buttons...).

	Many thanks
