Comments/Problems:

I really liked this install for it lets you name your partitions.  However I tried both installing testing and installing unstable in expert mode and both cases it didn't reboot.

I answered the default suggestion for everything except I did the multiple partition version and allowed non-free and did popularity contest.

<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
      and ideas you had during the initial install.>

I sort of like having it reboot after the base system is installed, so if it won't reboot you find out faster.

Also, I like the progress bar when you are downloading software from the repo's, but it would be nice if it was also showing the Kbs/sec rate.

It should ask for your grub password twice in case you miss type it.

I plan on testing this installer for a few months, so please tell me if there is anything special you want me to do. :)
