I have done a x86_64 network installation via boot.iso *without* any
problems.

Differing from the standard install in 2 points
- hd layout: "/" is on sdc3
- without office
and no special repos.

my impression:
- a *big* improvement, esp. LVM partition are seen and bindable
- yum run's [very] faster

packages:
- 178 i?86-packages 
- isdn: i would believe this shouldn't installed per default
- additional speeches : do i need zulu,... ?
- ? pcimcia is, synaptic isn't installed by default. does this make
sense ?


sum: 
a *big improvement* ! 
thanks.
