Comments/Problems:
This is my first time trying the debian-installer since beta 1 or 2.
Things have come a long way, looking good. I wanted to send my feedback,
hopefully it helps.
Everything worked well overall. I ran into some small problems with the
partitioning so all my notes are about that section of the install.
First, I spent a few times going into the partion tool. Each time
starting I got a long pause on the "partition scan". Checking with the
other terminals I noticed it was scanning partitions on
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0. This part of the scan took a long time. I would
recommend not scanning anything under /dev/cdroms when looking for drive
partitions.
The little symbols on the partition screen are a bit confusing. Read the
help for them, but still never learned what the lightning bolt was for
(boot?). A legend of the symbols and their meanings directly on the
partition page would be helpful.
I have two existing EXT3 partitions that I wanted to mount under /home
and /xandros. (you can see from my current partion mount list they are
working.) But I could not get them mounted with the partioner tool. Each
one gave me the following error, "This ext2 filesystem has a rather
strange layout! Parted can't resize this (yet)." I had not asked for any
partition resizing, but because of this error I wasn't allowed to mount
either one. After the installation was complete I went and manually
configured /etc/fstab. Everything worked fine then.
My last note here is just an observation. Since I was working with
existing partitions a bit, I was wondering If there was any difference
between the top level "Do not use this partition" option, or just
setting the mount point to "no mount point". I ended up going with the
"The do not use...", but was wondering if there was a difference.
Perhaps for streamlining the install options, if the user must manually
select to mount and use a partition, there needs to be no option for
setting no mount point?
Outside that, I had to hand edit XF86Config-4 and get the NVidia drivers
running after install. Once that was done I had the most impressive and
easiest gotten debian install ever. Nice!
Oh, and one last thing. When booting now I get an ugly message about
problems with the partition tables not matching. This happens early in
the boot and scrolls away faster than I can really read. The error
doesn't show up in dmesg either. I haven't been getting this before,
don't know if it's a problem I had previosly and only 2.6.x kernels
detect. Or if the debian installer did something funny with the partitions?

- disable the "noexec" mount option for the file system mounted on
/tmp; thanks to Mika Bostrom, Stephen Touset and Ken Schweigert
(closes: #249322, #255135, #258117)
- remove finish.d/check_ext3: often strange error messages are issued
due to the inability of parted to check many ext3 file systems.
Thanks to Frans Pop and Pete Shinners, closes: #238179, #251170
