while i'm on a roll, on both the i386 and x86_64 installs, when i select the default partitioning (/dev/sda1 for /boot and LV for the root fs), the progress bar dialog that comes up doesn't slowly show formatting progress from left to right as it used to.
instead, a progress indicator bounces frantically back and forth from left to right until the formatting is done. is this a new feature? it's kind of disconcerting.

It's just us not reading the output of the mkwhateverfs command the way we used to. Making it go slowly is a pretty low priority item right now, given that there's plenty of other partitioning bugs to deal with.
