Creating a user account can be skipped, but only if you run the installation at lower priority (which would result in more questions being asked). > To get on with the installation, I tried going back [like to the menu > -- couldn't get there], but I finally gave up trying and created a > dummy account which I later deleted. Hmm. You should be able to get back to the menu by using the <Go Back> button a few times. From exactly which dialog did this not work? > I must say, I really liked using the new installer.

If there are specific things you want tested, let Doing some installs using daily built images and testing things like encrypted and LVM partitioning (and possibly RAID) would be excellent. Some improvements in that area are in the pipeline and testing is very much welcome. Also, running a test when a new release is being prepared of has been announced would be great. Cheers, FJP
