Still trying to get first boot

	>If I were installing Ubuntu on your box I would make it my business
to understand the technical particulars of my video adapter, my monitor
(where I would guess your problem is) and how the X server "talks" with the
PCIe bus. 
	
	>Most of the time dealing with "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" (see man
xorg.conf) to set it up for the video monitor cures such problems.  In your
case, having the right driver for your PCIe Video adapter and having it
properly plugged into the system may be what is holding things up.

IS THIS JUST your way of saying the below is true?  Probably so.  If I have
to learn that much about the internal technical workings of my video card to
install this beast, then it is too much for me (and probably 98% of the
planet).  But thanks for the response.

If anyone else has any concrete steps I can take to fix this, let me know.
