This time I finished installing oxygen from the cd I made from the ISO image.

Some more observations:

* when there is a problem detecting a PCI device, it keeps asking to try 
and find PCI devices. This continues after each step in the installation 
(very annoying!)

(I suppose it is a good thing you can go back to each step manually to 
change some setting when it proves to be not quite correct though...)


* package selection is a bit confusing, even though the information per 
package is a lot better than with mdk 6.1.
An improvement would be to show clearly when a package is selected and when 
not. (by showing a + or - sign or something. Dselect wasn't so bad with 
regard to this...)

* When I downloaded the cryptographic packages, I got no feedback at all 
about the download times and whether something failed or not. (It didn't 
take long, so I didn't get worried, but I can imagine one would with a 
slower connection...)

LILO doesn't install windows partitions well...
I'm trying to migrate from win98 to linux only, but that will take some 
time. Meanwhile I will have to boot both linux and win98. so far, I haven't 
been able to install the win98 partition as dual boot. I tried klilo and 
manual editing, but nothing worked. The symptom is that when I choose 
windows instead of linux, Lilo says: booting windows and then the machine 
hangs. (Linux boots perfectly of course ;-)

I will probably try to install 6.1 again to see if this is an oxygen issue 
or lilo + my system in general (suggestions are very welcome if this sounds 
familiar to anyone!)

Cheers

Simon,

PS, I'm really looking forward to the next release of Oxygen!
