Comments/Problems:
Two comments: about disk partitionning and boot manager.
I can read there already is some discussion about ergonomics. I also
got confused about this "Continue" that, _in this particular dialog_,
seems to be a fifth option, but that was okay. If I were really
confused or worried about my data on the disk, I guess I would have
stuck with the four action items, leaving untouch this "Continue" for
which I am not sure about.
I really liked the fact that I could configure everything, from
partition size to esotheric options like noatime, and I also liked the
table that recaps all that (no more "Wait, /dev/hda5 was my /tmp or my
/var?"). However, I remembered configuring each partition took quite
a lot of key presses (tab, arrow, arrow, enter, tab, arrow, enter,
...). I don't remember the exact order, but I feel that "Use this
partition" should be the default, just like "Create a fs", and then
"Determine mount point" if you have just created anything but swap
(sorry for the inexact prompts).
A small quirk: I mis-entered a partition size once ("100" is
interpreted as "100 B" ?? Alright...), so I resized it, and, ... Mmm.
I am sorry I can not remember exactly, but I got the impression that
it created a FS just before trashing it by resizing it, or that it did
something after resizing that I had to undo. I only took a few
seconds, so as a user, I was not upset.
With regards to the bootloader, installing grub took sooo long, that I
thought it crashed, and it defroze just a second before I pushed the
reset button. If it is normal to take such a long time, a "This may
take a few minutes..." [ ;-) ] would be welcome.
Also, and finally, lilo was also installed and I found it confusing,
because I knew grub was already installed (I could rememeber the
scary
