Hi all,

here are some things I noticed while testing the new installer in qemu:

- in the "Setup Filesystem" menu, the partition sizes shown equal the overall 
size of the disk, which is incorrect
- a better description for swap space than "mounted on ..." would 
be "activated/ not activated"
- likewise, in "Create a filesystem", "create a swap space" would be more 
precise than "create a swap filesystem"
- when a freshly formatted partition is mounted on /, I get the warning
	"'/' contains files! Mount anyway?"
which might be confusing to users.
- the stone setup module is missing (in the installed system), so there is no 
postinstall stuff after installation.

Besides the missing setup module, the installer already works pretty well for 
me :)

With best regards,
