[sle-beta] SLES15 beta 6, initial observation

[Joe Doupnik]

     Two installation tests today, as a fresh virtual machine within 
ESXi v6.0.
     The first test put the installer on one CD drive and the package on 
another. That resulted in the installer getting to the end of the green 
screen with progress bar and just sit there doing nothing for a long 
time. I repeated this with only one CD (the installler) and then the 
system would progress into the regular details. Clearly, with two CD 
drives the installer became confused.
     The second test was with one CD, as just mentioned. The peculiar 
item observed thus far was when partitioning. I said please redo the 
layout with the offered existing partitions, I removed all shown for the 
only drive, and I created my usual three of BOOT (/boot, EXT2, 128MB), 
SWAP (swap, 512MB), and ROOT (/, 6.xGB). Then a message popped up saying 
(using my memory here) there was no separate disk with a peculiarly 
named boot partition, did I wish to proceed anyway. Hmmm, that's new and 
seemingly a design bug. I elected to proceed anyway, and as I write this 
note the software is busily installing. Also, I notice there is still no 
offered /boot choice amongst partitions in the pull down menu.
     Thanks,
     Joe D.
