Quoting mfidelman@ntcorp.com (mfidelman@ntcorp.com):yes to the language/country/keyboard/network questions - but no splash screen or other opportunity to select an install modeHmmm, sure, that's maybe a limitation of the way USB boot devices are built (kernel+initrd+iso image). There's then no nice boot menu. Not even a boot prompt?
reads MBR, then boots vmlinuz, goes to language selection prompt, then goes right into searching for an installer image and loading installer components - after that, network setup, then usernames, clock setup, then right into the partitioner
Other than having to learn how to configure grub2 to behave equivalently - not that easy, given that configurations go in different places, things are named differently, specifying kernel options is done differently, etc. It's going to be sort of interesting trying to migrate production systems without a lot of down time. Sigh...There were already major PITAs with Lenny, particularly when it comes at complex device setups. So, well, maybe some problems were moved from one place to another but I wouldn't say that things are worse than they were for lenny.
