User Feedback :: dsl-1.0rc2 "bugs"

Just installed dsl-1.0rc2 and thought I should start the thread for "bugs".
note: dsl 1.0 should be as perfect as possible :-)

When booted from the CD "dsl-1.0rc2-syslinux.iso" the dsl-hdinstall bombed out because fdisk couldn't read the hard drive (laptop).
I changed the script to use sfdisk and it worked.
After the hd install fdisk can read my drive. Got me puzzled !

Probably more related to busybox than anything else. On liveCD fdisk is a busybox applet while sfdisk is not.
If you chose "e" for enhanced install then the fdisk after the hdinstall would not be busybox, which would explain what you are describing.
Aparently there are some partition schemes that the busybox applet will not handle, usually these are an "out of order", numerically, that cause this situation.
I always test install to hard drive and have not personally seen this failure, as I cannot force such a non-standard partition table. But when I have communicated with others then I see the results that cuase this. So, simple solution, to switch to sfdisk. Thanks for reporting not only the problem but your solution.

Did someone just say RC2? I don't see it anywhere.

ah cool. just found it in the ftp
Is there a changelog somewhere? I make a point to know what's new before trying it out.
