Note that "expert" really is only intended for people for are very
familiar with the installer and actually need the additional options.

The installer automatically selects a good default. If you don't know
better, just select that.

What's the point? As you were able to complete the installation I assume
that both network and disk were supported. Again, don't use expert mode
unless you need to.

No, it is not. It's just not possible to select it from a dialog. There is
a separate installation CD that installs KDE by default.
Please consult the installation guide for info on how to select KDE using
the standard CD images.

This is a known issue.

This is just not correct.

This is just not correct either. Both for guided and manual partitioning
the installer _always_ lets you select which disk to use.

Thank you for submitting the installation report.
