hi,

*Please* send me a list of what could go wrong.  I have done
installations so often under adverse circumstances (e.g., bringing up
a new port on machines, installation on a machine after I've trashed
the root filesystem and partition table :)) that I truly don't notice
the things that can go wrong anymore.

I either avoid them without thinking about it, or just fix it.
