Comments/Problems:
Had some problems installing the base system. The name lookups kept
failing because my DNS sucks. Might be nice if it cached successful name
lookups (I guess you're not technically supposed to, though), or used
persistent HTTP connections. It restarted from where it left off fine
though, so I just had to keep hitting enter a few times when it failed.
I like how it autodetects just about everything. I never really had
problems with the old installer myself, but it's nice to not have to
answer any questions and figure out all the hardware nonsense (processor,
IDE driver, network driver, usb driver, etc.) myself.
I would have liked to be able to use regular old fdisk to do the
partitions (and you might have it in there somewhere, I didn't try too
hard to find it) but the thing you had worked fine.
