Comments/Problems:
Looking good guys. This was an install run at medium priority, and the only
issue that I had was the first choice of partitioning was totally screwed, I
had to bail back to the main menu and choose the other partitioning option.
Slightly niggling issue was it seemed to do hardware detection at a lot of
steps, and actually presented some silly dialogs for detecting the networkd
device, for example. It included my CDROM drive in the list. In all instances
I just accepted the defaults and everything went swimmingly.
The issue with LVM appears to be resolved (lvmcfg now does install lvm10 and
friends into the new installation) and the fact that devfs is in the kernel but
devfs is not mounted does not seem to be an issue.
Cosmetically, I noticed that there's no graphical boot splash again :-(
The kernel choosing stuff selected a non 686 optimised kernel for me. I'm sure
previous installs have selected a more appropriate kernel image.
Final nitpick is that in the base-config, when it came to selecting my mirror,
defaulted to the United States, even though I'd well and truly specified Iw
was in Australia by now. I think the timezone stuff worked well, other than
the fact that Canberra is omitted (no biggy, it is the same timezone as Sydney
I just don't live in Sydney).
Otherwise, all was good!
Andrew
