Here is what I found out:

- Booting seems VERY slow (nForce 4)
- Changed background picture is not so fine. The pic itself is nice, but it doesn't belong on an installation DVD.

Installation options:

- No default language is selected if you use another language at installation
- The kernel files should get an own folder
- Some ATI gfx drivers are marked as PCI. Shouldn't it be PCI-E? Explain which kind of drivers they are, it's ATIinject.
- 3rd-party files - hmmm... not everyone's choice, especcially all in one big package.

During installation:

- First DVD ever (of about 20) which failed the DVD integregrity check - on a new media. It worked after the 2nd try.
- couldn't say if it installs quicker.

After reboot:

- I installed ATI X1600 PCI (?) driver and had no picture - with AGP driver it worked, on a PCI-E machine. Try to explain the differences better.

In the system:

- The whole package of 3rd-party apps was installed, I'm sure that I unchecked them.
- 'options' script in /root is visible. Doesn't look so good.

But after all these negative things - the system seems to be ok. No visual changes like in Kalyway, System Prefernces panes are all actual, Toast is working, PPC is working and - as the first image ever - mounted Video DVD images can be played! That's the biggest difference of all other images.

eddie: Rework the installation DVD a bit, make a better description and sortation of the extensions. Check that there's the same language selected as in the installation used. The languages listed on first place at the top look a bit weird - I would place them beneath the kernel folder.
WIth the visuals and 3rd-party apps - I'm not a friend of things like this. You don't know which changes or additional programs the users wants or needs, so leave the installation DVD as original as it was. Especcially 3rd-party progs are a problem, either there's already outdated or it's cracked software - CandyBar, AppZapper and more. LiteIcon is a prog like CandyBar, but it's freeware.

Hint: Try to create a DVD in which the PPC code of the most apps is removed so that iLife '08 fits on it, that would be great.
