I absolutely agree.
Actually i think the cross install doesn't yet work well enough to install 
this way.

I was refering to your original question. "Shouldn't the actual transfer to 
hard-disk be done after configuring everything ?"
I mean there is not much choice in how to implement what is planned. (what to 
ask the user when and in which order to do what)

And now that my system is working properly again ( had a broken gcc for > 2 
weeks ) i hope to be able to do some boot cd experimenting again.
