If I leave the resolver window for a while it gets corrupted with: Aug 2 10:31:23 dhclient[973]: Bogus domain search list 15: lan, ..... In the documentation installation screen, it should say "At a minimum..." - the 'a' is missing. Also, there should perhaps be a semi-colon between "English version" and "this is the original". The menu also doesn't appear to do anything once you select "OK". The shell menu should perhaps have a newline after "making", to avoid "configuration" wrapping. Also, the partitioning screen should maybe have "Continue" instead of "Exit". The known issue with the installation not creating /home is still present in BETA1. -- Bruce Cran
