Finished Install. 1st try using lilo install easy defaults with auto framebuffer detect gave failed lilo install.
2nd try I cheated and used auto install/partition and let it do xfs and make a /swap. I can turn off /swap
later and delete I guess. This ssd I bought is a low cost Kingspec that is not as nice as my other ssd drives.
On 2nd install when I got to lilo. I picked 800x600 instead of auto because I think my default 1024x600 is what tied the lilo install the 1st time into knots and caused the boot loader install/failure.
Some specs for you.
