Method: From the CD, the 100Mb image of beta 3

Machine: Clone homebuilt
Processor: K6-2 350
Memory: 128
Root Device: IDE 2 disks.
Root Size/partition table: Had to forget LVM as the installer was unable to create it. manually partitioned finally.

Reboot:                 [ O ]
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it

Comments/Problems: E = LVM partitioner is seriously bugged. I had segfaults on the 3rd console. never managed to create a LVM. Also strange that after the reboot, 'K6' was no longer a valid hostname, The message explains that it must be alphanum and minimum 2 char SO what is the problem ???

Why not include a choice : What version of debian do you want to install , Stable - Unstable - Testing ?

Also that installer still feels 15 years old. remembers me my first 286... Welcome to linux...

Sorry for the Approxenglish.
