* no lvm or software raid support
If the installer detects an already-present lvm/raid, will it allow you
to use it for your disks? The reason that I ask this is I am wondering
if it is still possible to perform the necessary setup steps for these
outside the installer, then simply select them within the installer.
While you could probably use the installer if you pre-partitioned and
pre-formatted your drives/arrays and manually edited the install profile,
neither frontend currently has any notion of lvm/raid setups.
Now, for the *most* important part...reporting bugs. Gentoo's
bugzilla has a
special sub-section for the installer. When you click the link to
enter a new
bug report, select "Gentoo Linux" and then "GLI" from the "Component"
list.
Please search for the bug you're reporting *before* creating a new
bug. We
would much rather see "me too" comments, or even the much more silent
act of
adding yourself to the bug's CC, than having to deal with tons of
duplicate
bugs. When you do encounter an error in the installer, try to grab
/tmp/installprofile.xml and /var/log/install.log from the LiveCD
environment.
We may request them when you file a bug.
Please, please, please, please do not file bugs about the LiveCD under
the GLI component. Also, don't file GLI bugs under the "Gentoo LiveCD"
product.
I have created a bug especially for issues with the LiveCD.

Ah, yes. I forgot to mention this. File bugs in the correct place or we break
your fingers ;)
