Comments/Problems:
The gui installer looks great!
I had a blocking problem though. The installer would crash, ie the screen would
go black and the system would lock up completely, after a few changes to the
partition table, in the partitioner section of the installer.
(The info supplied here is from the finally-installed system, which was not
achieved with the installgui boot target.)
The sequence of events was:
I chose "erase entire disk & autopartition"
the partitioner offered me this scheme:
hda1 / 279.6M
hda5 /usr 5G
hda6 /var 3G
swap 378M
hda8 /tmp 403M
hda9 /home 51G
Tried clicking on 'swap' to enlarge it. I was unable to. Fine.
Deleted /home, /tmp, swap.
Click on FreeSpace, add new swap 512M, at beginning of free space. All ok.
Click on FreeSpace, add /tmp of 256Mb.
Screen goes black, system locked up.
Restart installation from the top, with 'installgui' and no other args.
In partitioner, choose "erase entire disk & autopartiton".
Create /home 10Gb and /data 41Gb.
Screen goes black, system locks up, on that last partition.
I am pretty sure this was before any filesystems were created,
but my notes lack that (now pertinent) detail.
The next install I tried was 'install' (ie still 2.6 kernel) so I
think this issue is isolated to the install GUI.
