Hi Otavio,
I can't find the installation syslog; I thought it should be in
/var/log/installer-log.
I checked the installation report I filed and I didn't include it there
either. All I noted was that I had to boot the install USBstick in
rescue mode then choose install grub from the menu. That's all it took.
I'm downloading RC1 hd-media and netinst.iso. If nobody else has this
syslog, I can do a reinstall and save the logs if you like. The only
down-side for me is the dial-up time to reinstall some packages; I don't
use the computer for production or directly accessing the internet since
its testing.
Let me know.
Doug.
