I mostly watched for feedback & second/third-hand reports on the networkless
handbook(s), go figure, and I haven't heard anything negative on that end. The
only consistent request I saw was for a warning to avoid the data loss bug
present in the installer, but there's already an open bug for that, and that'll
be fixed in the next release anyway.

As for the networked handbooks, the format and layout are still nice, solid, and
logical to me for all supported arches.

One question: how many other arches have had their networkless installs moved to
the GLI by default? Sure, I wrote the gtkfe/dialog to be arch-neutral, but
depending on 2006.1 arch additions and/or screen/config process additions, it
might need to be updated somewhat.

Overall, I'd say we're in great shape, with hopefully minimal content changes to
be made to the docs.
