Boot media:
Used livecd-iso-to-disk to create a bootable USB
Installation:
Bare-metal i386 laptop
Installation went smoothly
- I had existing Linux partitions - Used Automatic partitioning with "Delete all" to reclaim space
Could log in, setup Wireless network, etc.
Concerns:
However, even though the Wireless network is connected, the Network Manager shows a "cross" symbol. [1]
