Hi Israel,

1. Graphical Installer

I could install with the PAE kernel using the graphical installer :-) (I 
tested at the advanced OBI level). And the installed system can use all 
the RAM :-)

2. Text installer

But I could not install at all using the text installer (in text mode). 
Some bug was introduced, because it worked in the previous version :-(

There was a complaint that the chroot could not be started, and later on 
there were some errors, I guess because of that.

The installer could continue (but maybe the result would be bad, but at 
the time zone I could not get the Swedish time zone accepted. The 
.profile file 'could not be found'.

Best regards
Nio
