Comments/Problems:
When setting up filesystems, I selected my swap partition (already existing
from a previous mandrake install) and told it to make a it a swap, then it
returned to the filesystems screen and had assigned the mount point from the
previous partition that I had configured (/mnt/mandrake, from sda7) I think
that's a bug. I went back and told it to leave the filesystem alone and it
returned to its initial state.
I initially chose woody instead of sarge when presented with the choice, and
when I discovered that the woody files weren't on the CD there was no way to
change that choice without rebooting and starting over. There should either be
a way to change that choice or to not present options that aren't applicable to
this particular CD.
When asked where to put LILO - the existing option was a devfs path. I
understood it but a newbie would shake in his or her pants. If I had needed to
change it even I would have been at a complete loss as to what to put, because
devfs paths are so hard to remember. A selection box would have been real nice
here.
The installer recognized my ide controller and disks/cdrom just fine,
but when I booted into the system (kernel-image-2.4.22-1-386) they were
nowhere to be found. May not be an installer issue, but it was annoying.
The install worked WONDERFULLY. This has really come a long way!
