Is this something I need to do at grub time? I'm not in front of it
now, but I only recall there being an install and recovery options
during boot. Unless a special Fn key combination or special grub
config is used?

The normal graphical install just segfaults when it tries to load a module.

Regarding doing this across the network with VNC. First, there is no
networking enabled at the time the Xorg server starts, so it basically
fails before I have networking installed.

Second, VNC will only give me a remote view of what's currently on the
desktop, so I don't understand how that's going to help. Unless you
mean set my display to be my local PC?

Thanks again,
Alex
