Comments/Problems: PS/2 mouse (MS Wheel Mouse Optical) not working when
a Belkin OmniView E Series KVM is present. Works when directly plugged
in... odd... On the plus side, a Microsoft Wireless Notebook mouse was
detected, configured, and worked after a hot-plug on a USB port! Good
save!
<Pre-installation search on 3ware performance issues led me to use XFS
for the / partition. I also noted that the installer wanted to install
LILO, citing compatibility issues with Grub. However, since a lot of
folks wind up building and installing a kernel at some point, Grub is a
better fit. So for those who install wishing to use XFS on a single
partition, I suggest instead that the installer suggest a small /boot
partition in ext3 (eliminating the Grub-XFS issues), with the rest of
the installation in XFS. That's what I ended up doing.>

This is not really an installer issue. Can't really help with that. Sorry.

Well, XFS is not a default choice. If you really want to use XFS, manual
partitioning is probably the best option anyway to setup things as you
want them. It's pretty hard to support your suggestion in Guided
partitioning and I doubt that it is worth the effort.
Best would be if XFS support in grub would finally be fixed...
Closing your report as that installation was successful. Thank you for
filing the report and good luck with your new system.
Cheers,
FJP
