Same as I did my x86_64, line for line, except architecture was i686
and I added a USB device.
dont change the arch off of x86_64 or KVM will not work correctly. i
booted the i686 livecd just fine when the arch was x86_64 i did not try
forcing the arch to i686, afaik it should work but will be using qemu
and not accelerated.

So did mine (x86_64). Sorry I did not make that more clear.
I am having problems with the i686 spin.

Is there a way to boot off the Xfce spin, go in to text mode (init 3)
and do the install from there?
Many thanks,
