Dunno if this is still in there for 9.1, but I just did a 9.0 install and it elected to fsck the disks. While it was doing this the display froze (no traffic lights or help even, just the basic frames) and the disks hammered, would be very distressing for a newbie.
Can I most strongly recommend that the installer sticks up a status box saying `Performing additional disk integrity checks, please wait' while this is going on? Also, at once stage I used rm on a very busy directory and got `out of string space' and the shell (shortly followed by the installer) locked up. Is there a way of making ^C/SIGINT kill the rm and release the string space? Cheers; Leon
