The new installer is terrible Actually, I like the new installer, it's great, simple, fast and straight forward; only uncompress 4 files and you're done, still let you enable the services you need. I think it can be improved a little more though, for instance the manual partition utility could show the total available free space in units that will actually fill the disk/partition (It recommended me to create a 40G partition and let 800Mb unpartitioned hole at the end) and could also show a resume of the steps to be performed. Other than that, I think is a good improvement.

What I may judge proper to conceal, does not concern myself alone.
