Great job, guys!

Installed without a hitch on DS15s with Radeons (9100 & 7500) in GUI mode.

Note that an "Everything" install will require ~6.4GB of space... :-)

I've seen the kernel, but the /etc/milo.cfg file is missing, which would
have made it much easier for those folks to install. I'll send you an
example when I get the chance...

I don't know how trivial the following are, but I'll mention them
anyway... ;-}

Has anyone been able to perform an FTP/NFS/HTTP install?

I tried an "expert" boot, but anaconda didn't respond as I had expected
from previous versions.

Also, it appears that the version of aboot installed no longer supports
symbolic links in EXT2 filesystems, like the old v0.92b version does.

Where did the new one come from?

Thanks again for all your work!
