Comments/Problems: Few bugs with mousecursor in GUI. At some point it turned the mousecursor icon to that "text-mode" instead of pointer.
I had troubles with the crypting my harddrive. It just said that error happened. I could choose the encryption and all but when I was supposed
to write them to disk it started complaing about error. This happened after it asked the passphrase. Also, I couldn't create LVM-partitions on the encrypted partition.
I tried both, dm-crypt and the loop-AES. Unfortunately I don't have the logs anymore. I checked the partman log when trying encryption and it said something like following:
"/lib/partman/choose_partitions/35crypto/do_option: cryptsetup failed"
Encryption seemed to work the first time when I wiped the partition and tested it but I couldn't make the partitioning I wanted so I exited the installer and booted to retry
but it wouldn't work anymore.
Sometimes in expertgui the items I clicked and were selected weren't visible. You could also add a "select all" option in the expert mode.
In the GUI mode you could change the focus to proper keyboard layout. When I checked my language it focused the keyboard layout to the some other than my language.
Also, there is a part of text not translated to finnish in the installer. Otherwise it worked in finnish but in the end it stated "retrieving data from local mirror".
