Like I was saying, it was an easy install, on booting that's when things
got bad, the installer had not made user jimmy, there was only a choice
for root or user, I logged in as root and found user jimmy was in fact
not made so I made user jimmy using kuser only to get errors while
trying to login, also the installer did not setup my network card, I
checked /etc/network and the config file looked good but running 'ifdown
eth0 && ifup eth0" I would get no network found. Then I decided to go
take a nap. :-)
What could I have done to have a more successful install?

Thanks David, I'm downloading it now and will
try a "unetbootin" install
from a pen-drive, I'll give you a report back here with my findings.
Thanks for trying my CD. No guarantees though.
You do not have to use unetbootin, I included a USB script.
Just type in a terminal:
exelinux2usb
I also included a (post-install) script to switch sudo to su/kdesu
