The Installation

    == LMCE 0810 beta2 Installation ==
    #Followed the internet installation instructions located here
    #Upon reboot, I temporarily hooked the monitor to VGA to go through AVWizard
    #Chose DVI output, 1080p, 60 Hz, OpenGL with Alpha Blending, stereo sound, 100% volume, and hit I Agree
    #Upon finishing the AVWizard, there was a grey screen with large text displaying each package that was installed
    #This continued until it got to the Orbiter Regeneration
    #After the orbiter regeneration, I had the infamous grey screen with a cursor
    #I used Alt-F2 to get to get to tty2, and logged in
    #I edited the /etc/network/interfaces file as such:

    /etc/network/interfaces
    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback
    auto eth0
    iface eth0 inet static
       address 192.168.200.42
       netmask 255.255.255.0
       gateway 192.168.200.1
    auto eth0:1
    iface eth0:1 inet static
       address 192.168.80.1
       netmask 255.255.255.0
