Comments/Problems:
The only thing that was frustrating was that I was forced to created a
user account. Probably acceptable [desirable, even] for a "normal"
system, but this is a "for play" system, so being able to skip the
"create a user account" screen.
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. I had been unable
to use previous installers, as the boot would never get past "Booting
Linux..." with the 2.6 kernel CDs. That may have been because of my
system, I'm not sure. I recently did a "STOP-N" to reset NVRAM, so
that may have been the issue all along....
I'm quite happy with how the process went. Thanks for all the hard
work! :-)
Thanks.
Oh, and since this is a "play system," I'm fairly open to doing a
re-install. 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.
