Hi Nio,
I have only edited mkp2p1 to have to work around to get it to install.
Now that I know the issue (fstab) I can find a solution :)
So advanced install will not work for this current release.
I think the swap issue is something that will be fixed when I generate
the fstab file.

The manual issue is fairly simple... I think I have it point to the
wrong place.
I moved the pdf from $HOME to /usr/share/doc
and I may have mistakenly not changed something... I was actually more
focused on getting the consolekit/upower/devicekit privaleges working,
as well as getting grub and the OS to install :P

I will have to update things (since the missing fstab file is very
important)

This should be a fairly trivial update (I hope).

Thanks for finding this bug!!  It makes it very clear what the
underlying problem is!!
