=== Annoyances ===<br />
<br />
<br />
== Installation ==<br />

<br />
<br />
== Fixes after installation ==<br />
<br />
=No Splash Screen / Black Boot Screen=<br />
It might occur that the machine freezes during the boot process. This issue and it's solution is described [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/150930 here].<br><br> To make a long story short for those of you who know how to handle a console:<br><br />
1) Change the resolution in /etc/usplash.conf to 1024x768<br><br />
2) Add vga=791 to the kernel line in /etc/boot/menu.lst<br><br />
3) sudo update-initramfs -u -k `uname -r`<br><br />
