OK, thanks, that solves one question.

Yes, I will have ACPI, the question is *when* to install it.  I
guess I'll just wait until it's all done, like uniaud.  My question
came up because the hardware section of the install offers a
checkbox for acpi (unchecked, probably because I unchecked it
during the beginning setup).  I was wondering if checking it at
this stage would allow it to continue or if it would die on me.  I
guess I'll just install it when it's all done.

OK, but chosing this option allows one to choose a driver that is
for the TP42, so is that the one to use as there is no other option
that is 'higher'.

OK, Thanks.
