Base System Installation Checklist:
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it

Initial boot:           [O]
Detect network card:    [O]
Configure network:      [O]
Detect CD:              [O]
Load installer modules: [O]
Detect hard drives:     [O]
Partition hard drives:  [E]
Install base system:    [O]
Clock/timezone setup:   [O]
User/password setup:    [O]
Install tasks:          [ ]
Install boot loader:    [O]
Overall install:        [O]

Comments/Problems:

Issues in no particular order:

1.) The installer repeatedly asks me if I want to start pccard services. I realize I'm doing an expert install, but I can't see a situation where I would change my mind and therefore would want to be asked again.

2.) Guided partitioning does not ask at all about swap. It gave me a 10 or 12 GB swap partition which is pretty ridiculous for my needs. A simple question like "How large do you want your swap partition to be (in multiples of main memory)?" would be fine. Again, this is an expert install. I'd like to be asked about this stuff.

3.) GB != GB in manual LVM setup. Space available on a volume group is reported as 299GB and yet making a logical volume of 295GB fails because there isn't enough space. I don't really care whether the installer uses traditional mega-, giga- or "hard drive manufacturer" mega-, giga-, BUT it should be consistent. As it is, manual partitioning is guess and check.

4.) The gui installer crashed when I tried to manually partition. Given some of the recent reports on debian-boot, I decided not to investigate this further, but if there are no known crashes (was gdk-something) I can try to get it to happen again.

5.) Having a gui is a great way to make partitioning easier. Unfortunately, the current gui is an exact clone of the text interface. This does not translate well at all. I'd like to see visual representation of the layout as well as buttons for add/delete/modify next to partitions. Also, there's no need to go to a separate page when modifying a partition... just bring up a modal dialogue.

You are right.  But both questions are actually asked at the same time,
which means that they appear on the same screen on the graphical
installer which is quite nice in terms of usability and keep the code
simplier.

Except for this last one, all the problems described in your
installation report already have associated bug reports. So I am hereby
closing this one.

Please submit a new one if you happen to encounter crashes of the
graphical installer during your next install.

Thank you and enjoy your new Debian system! :)
