Hi,

Did this yesterday on Armada E500.

This time it did not fall back to ncurses, and so the url was working
right away, without having to insert the server ip-address, which does
look much more professional this way;)

The installer modules 1-6 seem all 1Kb, so they *seem* ready much too
soon, while they have to load all different values.
This feels not good, because while showing: 100%, 'something' is still
loading...
I know these modules all have different sizes, so i don't worry about
it, but you know what i mean?

There were no issues with the partitioner here: Small HDD, only W2K:C,
swap, /, and /home, the right proposel was made..
it felt real thrustworthy.

Wifi works like a charm here now.
The choice for ifup or NM seems much more mature, and going back to make
another choice doesn't break anything now, not even when going back to
test another interface, (pcmcia (card inserted before hw detection), or pci)

I installed by cable, but after restarting also wifi was up imediately;)

There are still issues with the updater applet, but after manualy
install them via Yast2, it seems to work ok.
Some strange triggering about the java webstart and flash auto
updater,they get installed after an unexpected prompt to agree with the
license agreement, but they show in kickstart, and work.

Fresh install performed OK, two times server time-out, but after retry,
both times imediately continuing.
Some 865MB were downloaded to iinstall some 2.3 GB, (this goes prettty
much faster than DL a whole DVD, waste a DVD, and still using 865MB to
install...imo)

Overall process: smooth and licked;) (welldone, this is going to be my
preferred way of installing;)
