Hi,

Latest *iso's are working. One thing is broken and this is XFS. ( later on an workaround on howto install with XFS )
Here is what I've done testing (all installs in DE only , sry but I have no time to test de|en|hu ):

Netinstall -> base only , 2 installs (  ext3 , reiserfs ) ( some random -Sy of apps && groups after first boot ) - ALL fine -
CD1 -> base only 3 installs ( ext3 , reiserfs , xfs[with workaround] ) ( random -Sy of apps  && groups after first boot ) - ALL fine -
CD1 -> base|net|devel|libs 1install ( ext3 ) - ALL fine -
DVD1 -> default install+e17, 2 installs ( ext3 , reiserfs ) ( tested all Desktops [gnome,kde,xfce4,e17] ) - ALL fine - ( and BTW the fonts looks nice on a fresh install :P )
DVD1 -> base only 4 installs ( ext{2,3} , reiserfs , xfs[with workaround] ) - ALL fine - ( -Sy of network*+devel after first boot and tested some network apps )

Grub got installed in MBR[*] in all installs.

* XFS won't install in MBR from setup _at all_ , all it does is to hang forever.
   To get it to install you need to :
   1) get to tty2
   2) killall grub
   3) chroot /mnt/target
   4) sbin/grub-install /dev/XXX
   5) exit
   6) back to tty1

   More issues with XFS on reboot , some demons just random qiuts , segfaults. XFS is slow as hell on install :|
   So IMO R.I.P :P We should ripp it off from setup for final.


vmiklos if we need more test poke ,maybe I have some time later to do some more installs.

Anyway just for record :)

Base install only eats '338,1 MB' ( 144 packages ) and is really fast installed 4 - 10 minutes to first reboot. ( depending on the box )
DVD1 'default' install eats '4049 MB' ( 1188 packages ) and is done installed in like 25m - 1h ( depending on the box )

Well and  I found some things we should change for final but nothing critical. I'll poke the maintainers on this later.
