+ 3) I expected: A painless installation of the FGLRX driver.
+ 4) I got instead: A failure, package failed to install.
  
  I had some trouble installing this driver on 10.10 and read about
  problems with it, so I tried to step back a bit to 10.04. First
  installed it on a 1GB stick without persistence, the driver seemed to
  install fine though it asked me to reboot which is of course kind of
  pointless without persistent storage.
  
  I put the live image on a 4GB stick with 3.1GB persistent storage. I
  tried the installation of the driver again, but it failed as you can see
  here. That's before it got a chance to ask me to reboot.
