1. my laptop is 32-bit.  I'm trying i386 exclusively;

2. I tried 7.0, 7.1 and 7.2;

3. I'll try 8.0 snapshot as soon as possible;

4. "user-space keyboard selection" means the menu for keyboard selection that is
shown after the kernel finishes hw inizialization/detection, mounts the CD and
executes init (sysinstall?) in user-space.
