Only two actual bugs found: 1) When selecting partition sizes (expert mode), the numbers typed in to the "size" edit box can be ignored. Rather odd, but this is what happens: If you type a number into the box, it is ignored (the partition will be created with whatever size the dialog defaulted to). If you type a number into the box, then switch to another control, the slider does not move. This is consistent with the number being ignored. Clicking on the slider left/right buttons moves the slider from its current position and reset the number in the box. If you click on the up/down buttons next to the edit box, then the number changes correctly *and* the slider moves. Hope someone can fix this - it's a very annoying problem but probably caused by a tiny typo somewhere in the depths of the installer! 2) On reboot after installation, system failed to start. Probably an initrd problem. Setup is /dev/hde1 is /boot (ext2), /dev/hde5 is / (reiser). Messages are: VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem). [] initrd_helper v1.0.1 [] Loading module /lib/reiserfs.o kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k block-major-33, errno = 2 VFS: Cannot open root device "2105" or 21:05 Well, no more testing for me until someone can fix this problem :-( Other comments: Captions on the photos would be nice. A bit more status information (other than just time remaining) would also be nice. Even if it's just the name of the package currently being installed. Is there a way to set up RAID while in the installer? Tried using the console on Alt-F2 - couldn't modprobe md, which I presume is essential to setting up RAID devices (never done it before, was aiming to try with this installation). Error message was "unresolved symbol md_autodetect_dev". Don't have any other machines running kernel 2.4, so was unable to do much experimentation - gave up and installed without RAID. Using remote display for installation (linux display=10.0.0.1:1), fonts were very small and no cursor was visible at any time. Michael
