I had no problems with installation from CD, apart from trying to decide
how large my partitions should be, which wasn't RH's fault at all.

 * Perl should probably be reclassified from a text utility to a language.

 * Zsh's `help' description overwrites the scroll bar in the install screen.

 * GPM's -R option makes my `ms' mouse look like a mouse systems compatible
	to MetroX? (MetroX, by the way, after a little confusion in configX wrt
	screen sizes etc, is nice and speedy. Goodstuff.)

 * The administration toolbar's buttons don't depress - they should give
	some indication they've noticed the mouse click.

 * Mention of the errata pages on the default loading page would be nice
	if it can be sneak it in there.

The worst of these was the gpm -R thing. I lost much sleep over it. :)

Great work, guys!
