Re: Ubuntu 10.10's installer looks rather nice

I think anaconda is better than ubuntu installer.

Ubuntu installer does not support LVM and RAID. I need these features. 

Anaconda does not easily support upgrading from internet. It is quite regretful.

What was the wall-clock duration from "Go!" to done?
Should be about 140 seconds for a 32X CD-ROM: (700MB / 5MB/s).
{Fetch_from_media_or_download, and uncompress_package_to_pieces_in_RAMfs}
parallelizes almost perfectly with package install, even with only one CPU.
