Comments/Problems:
I found the installer a bit harder to use than the installer from Woody,
particularly in the area of partitioning the hard drive and assigning
mount points. It took me some playing around to figure out exactly how
to assign mount points, in fact. Using "Expert" mode, I had hoped I
could simply use fdisk then assign mount points in a simple q/a after
that.
Once you have filled out this report, mail it to submit@bugs.debian.org.

Hi!
In the new version of the installer the setup dialog for partition is
improved. I hope this allowes me to close this bug.
