there are so many little bugs in RC3 that I don't know how
to enter them in bugzilla.

I will try to note here what I've seen and then try to enter
bugzilla.

summary:
I was unable to complete the RC3 installation with only the
first CD on cd and all the other elsewhere on hard drive.

1)try to install from mini-iso. failed. When asking for the
option "hard drive" was directed to eth0/eth1 and not to the
hard drive. Same problem from the first cd with the same
install system.

2)so install the minimal text install from first cd. with
some expert partitionning-SUCCESS :-)

3) I had previously made an instsource on disk with yast
from the 5 ISO and had the iso elsewhere

4) set the install source as hard drive, ISO and give the
Iso of CD1. When I made them with applydemtaiso, I used the
same name as RC1 (but with a 3). The first cd made well but
Yats was not able to find the others cd and I couldn't make
it accept the cd #2. tried to rename the ISO as disk1, 2, 3,
4, 5, with no better result. may be this iso works only with
dvd.

5) set the install source as hard drive, directory and setup
the inst-source previously setup by Yast. Almost worked, but
asked for the CD2. If one answer "jump", the install
continue (install was X base+kde base), it stops at each CD,
jump made it continue. At the end the install was not
complete. Seems like only the first package of each cd was
missing.

each time I connect to this install source, I'm said than
"signature check failed" (in english on a french install)
and asked if the message had to be displayed again. even I
said NO, it was always displayed again.

after a moment, I was no more able to join the install
source (usb drive). It was mounted, I could go in the
folder, but not use it with yast and it was deleted from
yast sources.

6) lately, after going out of yast I was let without
keypress display (I coul type but nothing was visible on the
display) - "reset" corrected the problem

7) may be related with the rest (but I don't think so), when
one have installed X, sax2 should be launched automatically.
when installing kde, stsrtkde should be set. at least the
user should be asked if he wants X and Kde, without having
to lauch sax2 and go in yast to enable kdm/kde

8) at the beginning of the install, I needed to go twice to
"personalise" and to expert mode to be able to safely
install in a spare partition and not on the main one & set
GRUB on the first sector of the partition (not to replace
the working install). the GRUB think is quite nicely done,
but the partitioning is confusing

9) why is it necessary to call DHCP at install boot? this
takes 1 minute per eth card (and I have two). This was given
as bug in bugzilla, but wontfix without real answer (can be
avoided by "dhcptimeout=0). If one install from cd, this is
unusefull and else it could be done after.

10) during the install, it is proposed to setup YOU. I was
unable to connect to the server and disclosed this part

11) the first time I tried to install X+kde, I got a segfault
