i've just completed a test install of 9.2rc2 on a new box.
i didn't try anything fancy or any kind of extended testing.

(1) i couldn't get my ADSL connection working
till i ignored the advice in  /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf :

  Sympatico users in Canada do need to include "@sympatico.ca"
  
this is the opposite of the truth!  when i included it, it didn't work;
when i omitted it -- as on my present box with 9.0 -- the connection is ok.

(2) if you don't define ADSL as your I/net service during install'n,
MCC won't do it for you: it insists on believing you're part of a LAN
& there seems to be no way to change this.  even then,
i had to manually edit  pppoe.conf  &  pap-secrets  to get things going.

(3) there is a bad spelling in MCC: 'Services and Deamons': it sb 'Daemons'.

(4) in KDE, i tried to change the background color of  1  desktop to red
(it's the one on which i wd normally run a terminal as root),
but it refuses to change the color, tho' the config screen says it has.
(well, i use XFCE ordinarily, but it's not among the listed choices in 9.2).

(5) despite choosing 'game station' during installation,
i had to install  kdegames  by hand later;
also amazingly,  vim  wasn't installed by dft (and then the menu says 'vi').
i chose all groups except multimedia & servers.

(6) generally, the appearance during installation & dft start-up is cheap.
the 9.1 installation screens looked better & the 9.2 fonts are crude .
why do you persist with KDE ?  why not offer XFCE as dft desktop manager ?

OTOH congratulations! you have finally got the mouse test to work:
it's something i complained about after installing 9.0 .

HTH (no i don't run cooker, but i assume you want user feedback)

and yes, you can include some ads, if it helps pay the bills.
