Comments/Problems:
Everything went peachy, but there were a couple of hiccups and UI bugs.
Points to note:
1. A summary of what filesystems are going to have what done to them
would have been nice. I had to go back and look to check that I wasn't
going to inadvertently clobber /home or /usr/local.
2. At the "install the bootloader" stage I was not prompted for any
information, and the device name was given in long notation. I didn't
get to add my other operating system to the bootloader menu. I would
also suggest picking one bootloader and going with it. I'd suggest GRUB
for this. (Obviously platforms like SPARC, PA-RISC and Alpha don't have
this issue)
3. baseconfig never seemed to get around to editing /etc/inittab to
change what should end up on vt1; I had to make this change myself to
stop baseconfig from continually respawning.
Regards
Peter.
