A few notes (which I'm sure you're aware of ;), and I recall you saying the first two will be taken care of once the installation process is finished):
* Using the 0.13-5 grimoire. Should be updated to latest stable. :)
* Sorcery is at 1.13.6, but 1.13.8 is the latest stable.
* No optional spells are available. Help says they will be coming soon.
* The default installed /etc/fstab is missing some common entries, such as:
tmpfs /var/lock tmpfs defaults,size=10m 0 0
tmpfs /var/run tmpfs defaults,size=10m 0 0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,size=1g,nr_inodes=64m 0 0

# enable this to get POSIX shared memory support (needed for a few apps)
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults,size=2g 0 0

Hmm, I don't have those on any box. wastes ram. Perhaps drop them in there, but not enabled, commented out. For reference only.

You may want to lower the size= settings for /tmp and /dev/shm for the defaults. :) I believe they were "64m" when first installed.

* Information on generation a swapfile would be handy. :) My /etc/fstab from yore has:
# Virtual memory swap file
# If you need it then create it with the following commands
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=1024
# mkswap /swapfile
# chmod 000 /swapfile
# Then uncomment the line below.
#/swapfile none swap defaults 0 0

Yeah that'd be handy :)

Just MHO :D
