The laptop was hit with a stage 1 install (<a href="http://www.fouldsy.com/linux/view.php?id=231_0_5_0_C">detailed here</a>) simply because it had the speed to compile everything from source without too much hassle. My test machine struggled with this and in hindsight, would have done a stage 3 build. I'm hoping with the Ultra 5's I can do a single install, then image the remaining three drives, plus a spare drive to keep a clean copy. Whether it works out like that I don't know!
