It looks great! This is far better than what we have today on the
gui-side. Any idea when we might get to see what the new text
installer looks like?

I assume then that it is supposed to stop when it asks for the second disc.

I don't like the sideways scrolling hard disk selection list. I think
there's enough room to make this a vertically scrolling one. I also
noticed that if I use the arrow keys to cycle to the right in the disk
selection list, the viewport does not scroll with me, so I have
selected something I can't see with the arrow keys.
