I've just been playing with it under KVM on my big machine, and
*still* cannot get a full graphical boot. I can get the login screen,
and it reaches a desktop but the display (apart from the status bar at
the top) is garbled in various ways. So much for video driver fixes
:-)

Again, this is still only UNR - the regular i386 version of 9.10 seems
to run OK, both from a LiveCD and through KVM....
