Hi!!
amazing work guys, it is really inspiring to note the kind of work u guys put in. but i found a few problems in the installation and please correct me if i am wrong.

1)firstly, i have a 450 mb linux partition(rather miserly, i know) and a 60 mb swap partition. now, when i try to install linux it tries to install the whole 526 mb which is not possible and hence it continues in a loop. if i try upgrade(i had RH 6.0), this problem is not there and i can select individual packages. 

2) what was the need of the GUI for installation. though, at the outset this may entice many new members into linux, i always thought linux's strength lies in the command UI and not the GUI or XF86. i have experienced hangs a lot of times while using Netscape and gnome on my office comp. the installation GUI slows the installation quite a bit.

Regards,

Karthik DK.
