Comments/Problems:
I only have very minor comments:
(o) I hope the auto-partitioning logic varies between platforms
because 10Mb is far too small for /boot on hppa[1] at least and
possibly others?
(o) yaboot asked me what partition to use. It'd be nice if it could
have been told that by the auto-partitioning stuff?
(o) Wah, someone reversed order of username/user question in
base-config.
(o) Ho hum. Automatically trying to connect to security.d.o is kind
of evil. It wouldn't work in my environment, so I'd had to either
Control-c it (fairly unfriendly to the new user) or get bored
waiting for it to timeout (also not great). On the other hand, I
can see why it's desirable and stuff, and maybe overall it's a
good idea. Who knows.
Conclusion: Great work, you guys. :-)

[1] I happen to know this because I created a 15Mb /boot for sarti.d.o
and it's always running out of space on there, even with just 2
kernels.
