Guys, This should really be reverted to sysinstall until the new installer is at least in a state where it consistently works... the most important part of a new users experience is the installer and the few new installs I have done lately I've just installed 8.2 and upgraded from there as the new installer is terribly buggy. Few things: - On my installs at least, if there is an unknown ftp connection problem the installer will just bail and say it has been aborted - this consistently happens when ftp.de is selected - there is no method of stepping back through the install - If a dhcp lease request times out manual configuration isn't offered I realise that a lot of work has gone into it and it's nice and new, but really unless it's finished it shouldn't be the default. Thanks, Jhelp
