Comments/Problems:
I was a bit disappointed - on stable the lilo did get the point that there is
another OS installed and added other=windooze after asking for it.
In addition to that there were the following problems:
The German translations are not complete (no problem for me, reading English is
a lot easier than writing)
The keyboard layout was really incorrect. Altough it was qwertz layout as selected several keys were not assigned correctly.
I would like to add the following wishlist items:
Please add XFS Support ;-)
