Italy, Rome. 10:00 pm, completely sync'ed with ftp.ciril.fr from cooker.
Back home, started hd installation.
In next points, the results...

1.
Tried graphical installation, it STOPS when making partitions, sendind 
"cannot write...." and turning back to partitioning.

2.
Restarted with text installation. Things got better...

3.
Could not select english language --> italian keyboard, the choice was just 
between US/US_international.

4.
No way to disable that HORRIBLE supermount. PLEASE!!!

5.
I selected pratically everything during package_selection stage, but at the 
end I had only 1.4 GB of disk used! In particular
        - GPM is not installed
        - RAIDTOOLS is not installed
        - EVOLUTION is not installed
        - DEVELOPER LIBS are not installed
        - ...could continue for about 1200 packages :(

6.
Could not configure X during installation (neither later!). That's too 
much!!! I have a Matrox G200 that has always been recognized perfectly, even 
in previous cooker's installation...

7.
When I manually install any RPM, I had taedius "Warning: Locales not set... 
bla bla bla" till I manually installed locales-en locales-it

8.
When installing an RPM I am always prompted with "Macro %install_lang has 
empty body". Quite boring...

9.
X doesn't start unless I set 800x600. But it's quite random, as I can see

10.
In init 5, as I tried to use WindowMaker, X died definitively! No way to 
re-enter init 5 without a total hardware-reset... CLICK  :o(

I will try to repeat the whole operation on Monday, as I can go to University 
and remirror the tree...

        Thanks, for your hard work
        I hope to be usefull  ;o>
                Claudio
