I will address the cdrom issue if I can get an iso with the latest installer
binary in it.

I just noticed the root password issue yesterday I will look into it

OK I for one am in agreement if the auto partition scheme isn't just about
perfect lets sideline it way to risky. The grub is a great idea I can't tell
you how many times I have seen posts to the effect that VL was not even
tried because of no grub. So thats all good. To get more testing beyond our
little circle here there are two critical things that need fixing in the
installer. The first being that the installer fails most of the time to read
the package files from the cd media that it was booted from. It will install
fine from an iso image on a hd partition but thats a bit much to expect from
a casual tester. The other is that both root and user passwords are not
being saved during installation. One can log in as root and enter with no
password, as user the entered password never works.
I think some more time needs to be spent on those two areas then we can
expand our horizons with a larger testing group. Just my humble opinion.
But beyond those two areas the installer is coming along nicely.

Cheers,
