Same here. I think there are some misunderstanding. devfs is used in the 
initrd on all ISO and udev/static are still proposed by the installer 
for the new installed system.

For the guided menu, I don't understand. Few things have been changed, 
nothing really visible. Maybe i forgot to initialize some variables 
since you can enable/disable guided menu.

Like Karsten, I'm pretty much waiting on David's work to be our next 
stable installer. In the meantime, I will use what i've used so far :-)

And last but not the least, I really appreciate reports from Eric 
Schabell. All people testing the ISO should report here like he is 
doing. Thanks Erics for your time and feedback!
