On a whim, I just downloaded the ISO via the hotel LAN and installed it (MacBook Pro 13" Late 2016, macOS 10.12.3, Virtual Box 5.1.14). Nice work!! My first direct experience with the new loader. Here are some random observations: - I like the "straight install to pool" option. I have had this in my Kayak net installer for a long time but never sent the pull request. - The keyboard selection did not work; I selected 18 for German but still got US. This may well be due to VBox interfering; I usually don't use the console of my VMs but just ssh in. - The disk selection screen had some lines with more than 80 columns, causing line wrap. So it all looked a bit ragged. Worked fine, though -- installed on a single 20GB VDI disk. - After installation, I wanted to stop the VM so I could remove the boot DVD from the config. So I told VBox to "send the shutdown signal". This caused a message of "/usr/sbin/shutdown not found". Maybe you want to put that binary on the miniroot. :-) Will do more tests as time permits. All in all, looking very good. Regards -- Volker -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Volker A.
