Comments/Problems:

(00) First of all thank you VERY MUCH for doing an AMAZING JOB with Debian 
Stretch RC02 installer. Now it loads/installs faster [than Jessie 8.5], 
supports NVMe 2.0 drives “out of the box” and the OS loads right after the 
installation without having to use `mount --rbind` and backports. General 
suggestion is to add support of the Nvidia graphics driver (as detailed below 
pp.02,02.b).

(01) WiFi Network card was detected, but requested an external drive for 
installation (no drivers were found). Therefore, no wifi was installed during 
initial setup

(02) In “graphical expert” mode there were absent modules for Nvidia card; 
therefore, during the first boot after installation the system hanged/freezed 
(it uses nouveau driver by default which is conflicting with Nvidia); after 2nd 
reboot after install at the GRUB screen, I had to (a) manually set `nomodeset 
3`, (b) boot, log in and install `nvidia-detect` package, (c) launch it 
(detected correctly! In Jessie 8.5-8.7 it has never detected the card correctly 
with its name) (d) install `nvidia-driver` (with boot partition `rw`) (e) 
reboot and… it worked right away on all 3 monitors!!!

(02.b) My suggestion is to do either of these: (a) add the `nvidia-detect` 
(`sudo apt-get install nvidia-detect`) package into the installer, if the 
nvidia is detected, prompt to install `nvidia-driver` (`sudo apt-get install 
nvidia-driver`) during setup; or (b) add `Nvidia` installation module to do all 
that if/when checked. There are plenty of Nvidia folks out there!!!

(03) During hard drive partitioning, it has detected all the pre-partitioned 
drives correctly; however, when I was clicking each drive to set the mount 
point, it was showing its file system of a previous partition, but not the 
seletected partition. i.e. it shows the fs correctly on the initial list, but 
when double click on it to actually modify it, the fs changes to the value of 
the element’s preceding/previous partition – as if the detailed editor starts 
from [0] but the list starts from [1], please check.

(04) Clock/time zone setup – after setting up the UTC clock, it has prompted 
about the clock setup again during the installation process, and asked if I 
have UTC. Yes, I have already had UTC enabled and provided with a default sync 
URL.

Thank you in advance for considering improvements and enjoy your day/night.
