Comments/Problems:
* Initially (on two attempts, just to be sure) the installer told me it
was unable to configure the network; by the time I checked it using
ifconfig it had completed DHCP and had an IP address. It could be our
DHCP server is too slow, though I've never noticed the problem
elsewhere. Maybe the timeout could have been extended by a few
seconds... (note: selecting "retry" here worked just fine)
Otherwise the installation worked remarkably smoothly; my only remaining
comments:
- I was surprised that the only templates for partition schemes were
either "all-in-one", or desktop/workstation (at least they were named as
such).. maybe one of these would also be appropriate for installing
servers (didn't try them), but this could be a little confusing for
someone who knows they are installing a server (not a desktop or
multi-user workstation). (Granted, a server administrator should
probably have little trouble configuring the partitions him/herself..
but another option with sane defaults might not hurt either..)
