           Comments/Problems:

Everything seems ok except :
- choose a language : The first line looks like this '(???? ???
 ?????...)
- keyboard selection : Although I've choosen french keymap, keyboard was 
still US during and after installation. I need to do 'loadkeys fr' at 
the first login.
- lilo : You can't skip it. There is just 'continue' with the long name
 of the device : /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/disc not really clear
 for newbies... Next reboot, lilo starts automatically, without
 selection about other OS.
- PCMCIA : PCMCIA not removed when not necessary as before.

Good work !
Greetings.
