I did an install with 8 interfaces and the only problem I faced was
outlined in the OP.

I also found the installer short and precise, with sane defaults. My
only grief was doing an online install with the mini-iso:
- First installed without applying 'check for latest security updates',
and selected minimum install plus firewall. Apparantly the packages for
sshd-server and iptables weren't on the CD, but I got no warning or
complaints.
- I then tried selecting the same packages plus marking 'check for
latest security updates'. Chose a mirror, and installed. Now the
installer fetched all packages online.

Obviously the 'check for latest security updates'-option does more than
just check for updates, it does a complete online install it seems. A
better name for this option should be considered?

But the installer has just the right ammount of questions and I found it
very easy to use. Network configuration a lot better than in anaconda.

(Trustix is a lifesaver in my job, no question about it.)
