10.1 beta3 - a couple of initial observations
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". /Per Jessen, Zürich
