Notes and Observations:
1. Caldera provides for a DHCP-based remote installation instead of either an NFS or FTP install.
2. Sound as provided by this mainboard is currently not supported under the Linux kernels provided with these distributions.
3. Printing as setup during installation did not work during the Caldera install. This is a configuration issue with the Caldera installation software.
