Base System Installation Checklist:

Initial boot worked:    [O]
Configure network HW:   [O]
Config network:         [O]
Detect CD:              [O]
Load installer modules: [O]
Detect hard drives:     [O]
Partition hard drives:  [O]
Create file systems:    [O]
Mount partitions:       [O]
Install base system:    [E]
Install boot loader:    [O]
Reboot:                 [O]
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it

Comments/Problems: [!!] Config Apps or what ever menu when you pick mirrors to download off of it won't let you out to continue along with the script unless you cancel out to the installing menu.  This is Annoying but there is a workaround.
The only thing that I have found so far that I don't neccisarily like is that there are no headers for the kernel that gets loaded with the CD (2.4.22-1-386) so I can't get some of my stuff to install. (ie emu-tools from http://sourceforge.net/projects/emu10k1)

Pretty straight through and easy and quick.  Started it late at night and finished quickly.  Alot better then Gentoo which I tried installing a few weeks ago.
