Actually, the installer should list all of your partitions. You should
be able to see their current fs to the very right of the listing
entry.
You cannot select a linux mount point like /, /usr, /opt for it
without formatting. The installer will actually warn you about this,
and will only let you select /mnt/xyz[0-9] for it.

We do need to debug the dual cd thing... I have not had chance to test
this on real hardware, so I really dont know how accurate the code is.
HOpe to get some time by the end of the week to test some more. Buf if
I could get some more input from other users if this does/does not
work for you all, also, the type of hardware involved... Desktop box /
laptop cdrom units?

I would vote for vanger's suggestion of using the xorg.conf created
during installation, except for one thing.
The initrd that boots for the installer is very limited, module wise,
so your video will not always be the best using whatever was used
during installation to run the installed system, but I think it's
worth a shot.

About the permissions problem. I'm going to need you guys to tell me
how to set these
Here is a link to the code that sets these, but I'm not sure if this
is enough http://vlcore.vectorlinux.com/trac/vinstall/browser/branches/speedy/MdlMain.module#L600
basically, what that does is this "chown -R <user>:<user>
/mnt/target/home/<user>"

Let me know what I'm missing here, and I'll take care of it.

#6 is beyond the installer, so I'll leave that one along.
