Comments/Problems:
After rebooting the keymap I selected was not retained.
After rebooting the hostname for the machine was not retained, and localhost
was used instead.
Apart from that it has been a wonderful experience, and I had no problems at
all. I was following the published HOWTO. Since the bug in the partitioning
(209286) is solved from partitioner 0.07, maybe the paragraph which warned
not to use it can be removed from the above document (I actually used the
partitioner, since, after having a look at the bug it was closed, and I had
the right version of partitioner in the cd)
I also tried to use autopartkit, and it didn't work. Maybe this depends on
the fact that I tried it after having actually partitioned in the "classical
way" (in fact I only wanted to look at it and see what it proposed).
Ok, I had mounted partitions and the swap activated, but maybe autopartkit
could umount them, before doing anything (if this is the problem). After all
I allowed it to destroy my data, didn't I? ;) Anyway: using the automatic
partitioner gave some errors, and I don't know if it's because I already had
partition table or not...
Thanks for all, btw, I think the system is very nice! :)
Guido
