I'm installing to a machine with one IDE-drive with the following
partitioning:

/dev/hda1 - formatted for jfs, meant for /boot
/dev/hda2 - swap
/dev/hda3 - formatted for jfs, meant for /
/dev/hda4 - exiting jfs for with existing /home

The initial partioning proposal ignores /dev/hda1 and /dev/hda3, not
unexpectedly, and proposes a setup that uses hda4 as an extended
partition with hda5 and hda6. 

I delete hda5 and hda6, then attempt to edit hda4 in order to have it
mounted at /home.  
The dialogue only allows me to change the cylinder boundaries of hda4. 
Also, when I hit "cancel" on this dialogue, it still warns me that I
have changed the boundaries etc. ... - though I clearly haven't. 
To be able to instruct the installation to mount hda4 on /home, I had to
reload the partition-table.  
I don't know if this is intended behaviour. 

Boot loader:

The initial proposal for a GRUB setup contains an entry for a XEN
kernel, whereas the proposal for a LILO setup does not.  I haven't
played with XEN at all, so I don't know if it's meant to be in the
boot-menu or not.

Installation summary (or whatever it is called):

It's the screen with the main items listed:  System, Bootloader,
Software, Default runlevel etc. 
It seems to be lacking keyboard-shortcuts for the tabs "Overview" and
"Expert".
