Comments/Problems:
I really liked this install for it lets you name your partitions.
However I tried both installing testing and installing unstable in
expert mode and both cases it didn't reboot.
I answered the default suggestion for everything except I did the
multiple partition version and allowed non-free and did popularity
contest.
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
and ideas you had during the initial install.>
I sort of like having it reboot after the base system is installed, so if it won't reboot you find out faster.
Also, I like the progress bar when you are downloading software from
the repo's, but it would be nice if it was also showing the Kbs/sec
rate.
It should ask for your grub password twice in case you miss type it.
I plan on testing this installer for a few months, so please tell me if there is anything special you want me to do. :)
