This should better be shown in the installer window. I hit ESC, CTRL-C accidentally before reading this note. - list of steps in the installation process it'd be nice if each item in this list would get marked once it's done. so when going back to the main menu before rebooting it would be easy to check any missing steps (if skipping one step is actually possible) Issues after 1st reboot (2nd stage installer) - Timezone selection is too us-centric ;-) Otherwise the basic installation went smoothly. Congrats to the developers! default X 4.3.0-2 only works with the vesa driver. Use ATI's radeon/firegl drivers to enable other features like xv.
