Robert and others,
The install went smoothly using the custom install. My /home was preserved.
Contrary to the installation instructions, I did manage to make a 512MB
swap partition to go with my 448 MB RAM. I default kernel booted fine,
with this much RAM. Others have reported that in excess of 512MB one
needs to compile a kernel with High Mem turned on.
