Comments/Problems:

The graphical installer stretched across the laptop monitor and
the external monitor I had attached via a Thunderbolt dock.
It all *worked* it just made it hard to read and scroll through some dialogs.


Please make sure that any installation logs that you think would
be useful are attached to this report. (You can find them in the
installer system in /var/log/ and later on the installed system
under /var/log/installer.) Please compress large files using gzip.
