Comments/Problems:

All is good and fine,only some lesser annotations:
* installer doesn't set up any fat or NTFS partitions (it didn't affect
me but someone could be worried)
* HW detection worked just fine but doesn't extend to video card. This
could
be a major issue for newbies. Also there is no way to test X configuration
during install

Very good work
