One little "bug" with the release 2 (? I think, don't have the machine
here right now): "Supermount"!
The installation process edited my /etc/fstab and changed my /mnt/floppy
and /mnt/cdrom mount points to be "supermount". This is OK, but there
should be an option to *NOT* use it. The machine in question is a Dell
Laptop and I can remove the floppy+CD unit and replace with a ZIP. The
consequences of booting with the ZIP installed are that you can then
never shutdown, the umount seems to hang in the FD driver (forever,
I think - left it overnight :-) ). Building the kernel to support
"ejecting" the IDE ZIP and CDROM drive would be seriously nice :-).
My $0.02
