If you can get it to boot... 5.x seems to be a bit picky about
what machines it can be booted on. For example, on our HP Netserver
LH Pro, that's a no-go (4.x installed fine, though). I've heard
other reports, especially notebooks, where installing 5.x was still
a bit on the rough edge (or plainly not working.)
