Yup wilsons guide is a good start for setting up but a bit confusing  at 
times.
no real troubleshooting on what to do if/when etc.

I'm on my third install, and have highlighted items to do and crossed out 
areas that don't apply.

If I can't get a working install this time around, I'll give knoppix one 
last try then sadly, I'll have to use a windows based solution for a while.

this is a real beast to install and get working, ...  good luck we all need 
it.
