Seconding, since I’d like to h4x0r the installer and I need this info too. Although there used to be info on this when there was no installer yet. I’ve got the Hungarian version and can translate it to Englis, although I am not sure about its relevance.

I hope someone includes an INSTALL_HOWTO on the 1.10-REL ISO. Us users will need a list of typical examples like:
1.) fdisk
2.) disklabel
3.) newfs
4.) Installing bootloader
5.) Getting files & devs from CD to HD

For 1.10, it is unlikely that there will be a new installer, so I cannot help with this, as 1.x is in pure C (dfuibe_installer).

I hope that nasty installer bug that popped up (about a week ago) in the DEVEL(& latest PREVIEW) ISOs is gone by 1.10-REL. Otherwise I'll be using my 1.10-REL CD as a beer coaster.

Er, yeah. Bad phrasing on my part. I’ll fix.

“the upcoming release will be 1.10, and hopefully GCC4.x can be made the default at that point.”
Isn’t GCC 4.x meant for 2.0?
