Bug#324610: install bug

Nope
BUT: I did have a few problem during installation which I fixed on the fly.
There were problems* repartitioning the disks so the installed did drop
into the "semi-expert" mode. But I did select linux26 (or whatever it is)
when I first booted of CD).

Sorry, I don't have time (I understand this makes it hard for you to have
any hope of tracking down the problem).
* These may have been my fault as I realised during the installation that
I wanted to copy some files off the disk (a previous redhat upgrade had
gone wrong and converted the fs to ext3 then stopped, so became
unbootable. From memory jumped out of the installer menu interface mounted
the old home directory, then copied the required files odd. But I left the
old partitions mounted so repartitioning failed and it took a few
iterations for things to recover. Interestingly I could not get the new
swap partitions to work. I skipped them and did it my hand later. So
maybe I was just unlucky and this poking around just confused the
installer somehow
