Just tried out the new beta and here are my observations:

The main install screen is too big.  I had to resize it with my monitor.

When asking "Are you sure you are an expert?" it shouldn't say "...make
powerfull but dangerous things here" but "...customize powerfull but
dangerous things here" or "...make powerfull but dangerous decisions
here".

Is it supposed to highlight grub and lilo for choosing a bootloader?  Do
they work together or are they mutually exclusive?

"Unable to get hdlist-crypto.cz2" when trying to download crypto
stuff.  Should that be ".bz2" maybe?

When testing X in the install, it starts the X server ok (I'm assuming it
was using XFree 4.0), but when I click that it's ok, it doesn't put me
back into the original video mode.  Using an ATI Xpert98 video card here
(Mach64).

On the other hand, I *really* like the new installer.  A lot nicer than
the one in 7.0, good work!  And I like the new GNOME splash screen.  But
you need to put in that weather applet like helix gnome has (dunno what
it's called, kweather maybe?).  Sorry... here it says GNOME Weather.  I
live by this thing!

So far so good.  Haven't had a chance to really play with it yet, but I
like what I see, minus the few buglets.
