Tried 3 times.

GUI install
/sbin/loader (for some minutes)
probing mouse (for 2 seconds)
fast scrolling text (for 1 second)
blank screen (for some minutes)

fast message, could not read more than

_loaderFiletoMem() ......
........ input/output error

reboot

it takes about 15mins to do the entire cycle, it's too fast to read; I 
cannot try it anymore (I have to stay for all that time looking at the 
screen ready for something to happen...) unless you tell me to look at 
something particular to read and write down.

beta1 GUI install didn't work either, but it was different: a GUI screen 
came up but then it was unusable.

Olidata (www.olidata.it) is the biggest Italian "system integrator" or
whatever you call who buys parts in Asia and sells pc's.
Don't know the original maker of the monitor, Olidata re-brands them.
It's made in china...
