Comments/Problems:
- partitioning:
I'm dropped in fdisk for partitioning, so that should all work.
(Assumed the person installing knows what type of partition
table to install. Some information screen about that would be
nice)
- rebooting
when preparing to reboot it says:
Saving installation logs to /var/log/debian-installer/...E: Inimplemented function
and stops. When killing the process from the second console, it continues normaly.
After rebooting is asked some questions (like hostname and mirror) again.
- minor points:
The shell triggering this frame-buffer bug is a bit incommoding.
(When one is in the last line and using tab or the arrow up, the screen
is blanked. (When chrooting into the installed system,
that does not have that problem).) Having a clear command available
would be a great workaround for this.
