Well, I've just run it up (10th March version) and it's looking good.  There are 
one or two problems with the initial scripts.

Firstly install-on-usb didn't put the etc.tar.bz2 on the usb stick.  So there 
was no config file.  That unleashes a few issues.  Firstly if you answer the 
scan scsi devices 'no' it goes into a loop.  ^C to stop that.

Then it gets a bit cross because it's got no config file.  You have to say to 
use the default config at least twice (sorry I'm being a bit vague).  Then when 
you come to save the config file - it has /dev/null in DL_CONFIG_SOURCE - it 
says use save-config -s  but all that does is go into a loop.  I had to edit 
DL_CONFIG_SOURCE to get it to work.

No problems with the important stuff but I've not actually used anything on it yet.
