Body: read email. Setup a mailing list for someone. Setup a machine to pxe boot debian-installer and attempted an install. The installer didn't like the machine I was installing on, so I used `script -t` to record the problem and examine the error that flashed on the screen right before the screen got blanked. I need to file a bug, but ran out of time.
