Comments/Problems:
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
and ideas you had during the initial install.>
I had to do the installation twice as the first install went in to the USB stick.
Some indication to user that may avoid such a mistake would be better.
There should be one selection for root partition and it should be confirmed.
Rest of the task should happen automatically.
I had read somewhere that the default desktop environment is xfce. It turned out to be gnome. Is is intentional?
