We could make a poll. I think the HD install would be very well rated from

done 99% using NFS apart just before new releases.

That is fine; but keep saying that we need to fix a bug in the installer
is exactly opposite to what I tried to tell you; hence the supposition
that you didn't really read what I wrote.
