Comments/Problems:
The install went quite smoothly, I was impressed (but not surprised). I
was happy with the help screens available by pressing certian funtion
keys that made it clear how to pass the `nolapic' option that is needed
to boot modern kernels on my cripled motherboard.
I setup RAID-1 during the install. partman was a bit funky, it made each
raid device look like a seperate hard drive capable of being re-
partitioned. In fact it even let me create sub-partitions on the RAID
device but, of course, didn't write them to disk (how could it?). I
don't think it's a major issue.
After setting up the partitions and filesystems everything continued to
work very well. I was /very/ happy that I didn't need to do any
additional fiddling to get the new install to boot from raid.
My only two suggestions:
1) Make the partman frontend not allow you repartition
raid devices
2) Install grub onto the MBR of all drives that are part of a
RAID-1 array that hold the /boot partition.
Thanks for the great installer,
-Dave
