Comments/Problems:
Everything went smoothly.
No doubt this will be worked on, but I think the user needs more
visual confirmation of what the installer is doing: while creating
filesystems the screen was blank for quite some time, and I didn't
know what was going on --- I was beginning to think it might have crashed.
Also, after configuring apt I was taken back to the apt configuration
screen, which lead me to believe that it hadn't been configured
properly. I think there needs to be some sort of 'apt configured'
message, maybe a screen with 'go back to reconfigure apt' 'go to next
step' type options. Something like that.
Other than that, everything's good.
