Having just installed Gobo 0.15, I'd like to report a couple of bugs; unread mail of this list is quite a backlog for me now, so excuse me if these were filed already :-)
First, the prompt to select a keyboard map does not account for non-Latin scripts: if you choose Russian, for example, you can forget about terminal, as there are no commands in Cyrillic :-)
Then, when one chooses which packages to install, the sets apparently take precedence over user's choices, so one ends up with all sorts of stuff that is neither library, nor (apparently) script dependencies. On the other hand, you can say "skip wget" and break Compile. (BTW, ability to select another downloader would not hurt at all). Funniest thing is, the overzealous dependence resolver can not even figure out Xserver deps, so if you choose "typical" install set, kiss your X goodbye (I  fiddled with selection, but I did not nix dependence resolver, so...).
To get X running, you have to change group of a pointer special, like this:
KERNEL=="mice", GROUP="users"

A minor peeve is creation of home dirs nigh-simultaneously with /M/G/Users, so one can't mount /M/G/U while installer is running (ability to set up mount points would help).
Now for a feature request: previous versions had LVM available on the boot media, why ditch it now?

Final bug is upstream, but just in case: E18 crashes and crashes and crashes, at least in Live CD. Could have something to do with AIGLX. Or not.
