Comments/Problems:
I have several nitpicks with the installer, though most of them involve the GUI installer.
Firstly, the GUI installer, looks and acts a bit too much like just the old ncurses style mode, maybe following the Gnome HIG could make the options flow a bit better.
Secondly, on package selection, there should be more groups avaliable. What if I want a different desktop than Gnome? There should be other package group options in the installer.
Other than that, nice work!

True, but that is partly a consequence of the technical implementation.
However, if you have concrete suggestions for improvement you are most
welcome to submit patches.

Then you can select it:

Agreed, it could be easier to do this, but there are historical and
technical reasons why that's currently not the case.
As your installation was otherwise successful, I'm closing your report.
Thanks for submitting it and good luck with the new system.
Cheers,
FJP
