Hi, I went through the installer looking for anything negative I could say about it :) hope there is something helpful here:
The installer allows choosing the installation USB its self as a
target, which I imagine would result in a disaster? People can
shoot themselves in the foot if they want I guess?
No indication of what buttons one needs to use what: space,
enter, tab, nor that there are other TTYs with documentation and
how to get to them.
Enter selects and takes you to the next line when its an input
box, but it does not select and take you out of it to the button
below if it is the bottom most checkbox. one must then move to the
tab button.
Down arrow in a checkbox list takes you down to the bottom of the list, but then it will not jump out to the button below. It does take you from Ok to Exit though, like left-right, but it wont cross the barriers.
space doesnt select menu items, but does select and move down
checkbox lists, and selects buttons
I found my self switching between enter, tab, and space to get through, by going of intuition and thinking "do what i mean".
Perhaps Esc should escape when it makes sense.
After getting through the install with encrypted root, The install finally fails trying to install grub with:
Installing for i386-pc platform.
grub-install: warning: this GPT partition label contains no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible.
grub-install: error: embedding is not possible, but this is required for RAID and LVM install.
