Comments/Problems: 

E = LVM partitioner is seriously bugged. 
I had segfaults on the 3rd console. never managed to create a LVM. 

Also strange that after the reboot, 'K6' was no longer a valid hostname, 
The message explains that it must be alphanum and minimum 2 char SO what is the 
problem ???

Why not include a choice : What version of debian do you want to install , Stable - 
Unstable - Testing ?

Also that installer still feels 15 years old. remembers me my first 286... Welcome to 
linux...

Sorry for the Approxenglish.
