Comments/Problems:
The program to partition the hard drive was very intimidating; for example, it wasn't obvious to reformat a partition in use, one hilites it, hits enter, and then proceeds.
An instruction on the instruction to choose the partition to have a file system put on it would have help me get through the install faster.
Other than that, however, the install worked very well. I only had to hit next and it installed.

Changes:

.
* Anton Zinoviev
- parted_server.c (command_undo): destroy the old disk before
reopening. It is possible that this fixes #239300
- init.d/unsupported: exit 10 when the user presses <back> (instead
of continuing the partitioner). Thanks to Martin Michlmayr,
closes: #243374
- templates (partman/choose_partition): specify precisely that
selecting a partition allows to assign a file system, mount point,
etc. Thanks to Eric Zupunski, closes: #245027
- choose_partition/partition_tree/do_option: do not rely on the
existence of partman/filesystem_long/"$filesystem" template.
Thanks to Havard Korsvoll, closes: #248104
- definitions.sh (humandev): include the usual linux device names in
the text representations of the devices. Thanks to Ricardo Corral,
closes: #244821
- move the "Finish partitioning" item again at the bottom. Thanks to
Martin Michlmayr, closes: #245524.
- New script init.d/69no_media: warn the user when there is no
partitionable media. Thanks to Matt Weatherford, Martin Michlmayr
and Brad Langhorst, closes: #240937, #246723, #247027.
- parted_server.c (named_partition_is_virtual): write in the log file
whether the partition was virtual or not. Do not trace in the log
file all comparisons with existing partitions.
- parted_server.c: do not invoke remember_geometries_named() in
set_disk_named, invoke it in unchange_named() instead
- parted_server.c: new command DISK_UNCHANGED.
- partman: in the confirmation dialog do not show as formatable
partitions that have been already formatted. Thanks to Martin
Michlmayr, closes: #248063
- init.d/backup: never rely on old backup directory
* Christian Perrier
