                            (required to boot linux from hdd iirc) but did
                            create 1 ext3 and 1 swap
Create file systems:    [E] required lvm configuration and said no

[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it

Comments/Problems:

Video flickered then disappeared on a normal "install," but worked with
"install-safe."   Everything seemed to proceed smoothly until partitioning,
where the guided partitioner seemed to do the right thing except for the
small bootstrap partition yaboot needs on newworld macs (iirc).  I was
forced to attempt to configure LVM (even when I dropped to manual/ expert
configuration), but it said no partitions could be found, and I could go no
further in the install (I tried reiserfs initially and labeled the partition
"linux," then left it ext3/ "untitled" with the same results).
Overall, the installer looks promising, so I'll probably hold off on linux
until it works.

        of the darkness. There had been need of rain for many days.
       "Only a promise," Lao Er said.
