Much of the reason the installer does not seem as robust is due to some packages not on it and a bunch of debugging tags are still in the code until they feel it is ready to go final, then it gets cleaned up and they put the "Sunday go to meetin' clothes" on it. I am not a programmer so that is my language for what I see happen. If you want to migrate (a good thing) I would go ahead and run the rc1 as best you can for now, rc2 is imminent and final should be close on its heels in the next 5 to 10 days. Schedule has slipped a bit from what is posted. HTH -- Dennis M. linux user #180842
