One thing that would make installing to more advanced slice setups easier, would be a 'skip disk setup and start copying files' option. You would have to set up slices and partitions outside the installer and mount everything properly under /mnt, but then have the rest of the installation process done by the installer. That is copying files, setting up config files, adding users/setting passwords and getting fstab done. Cheers, Max
