I redid install, that worked with no problems, however one thing is VERY SERIOUS: default install would erase entire disk, THIS SHOULD NOT BE as one may be too quick to reply without thinking clearly (although you may have a safeguard on the next screen - fortunately I would never test that on purpose). There are problems with suspend and hibernate which I will discuss on another bug report previously opened.  -----------------
