I also have some additional comments I scribbled on a piece of paper
while trying the install last week:
- What's with All the Gratuitious Capital Letters in the steps?
For example:
C: Initialize and Activate a swap partition
Maybe it's meant to make it clearer what's going on, but to me it
looks careless.

You mean like the message:
swap partition. If you absolutely insist on doing without a swap partition,
and that's it, a trailing comma and nothing more...
- Searching for the rescue1440.bin file does the wrong thing. I'm not
exactly sure what went wrong, but I recall it was looking in all the
wrong places, and extremely slowly at that.
- There is no description for the ip_alias module.
- The message
Determining next step
appears and immediately disappears again. The screen then remains
blank (blue) for quite a while, and then the procedure continues. This
is confusing.
- There is no parameter documentation for the hisax module. Contact me
if help is needed at this point, although the info is available as
linux/Documentation/isdn/README.HiSax in the kernel sources.
