testing 20120926_f18b-smoke3 DVD iso

[Nonamedotc]

I think this is a vast improvement over the previous images as expected. 
I tested the DVD iso on a virtual machine and here are some observations.

1. The image is automatically recognized as local repo and it works fine.
2. Package selection screen actually allows selection of packages (to 
the extent I tested - not too extensively tested).
3. Disk partitioning is still weird. Here is why.

                 I tested on a virtual disk where I had debian installed 
previously. The installer crashed twice before I was able to partition 
the disks. I did the exact same thing all three times. Select the 
existing partitions, click on '-' to remove the partitions. The 
partition will be removed but nothing would show up in the "space 
remaining" box on the left bottom of screen. After deleting all 
partitions, the region was devoid of any details and no option to create 
new partitions! If I click back, the installer crashed. Sigh! When I 
repeated the same procedure except click on "Finish partitioning" in the 
last step, installer crashed. Third time lucky though. I was able to 
create new partitions without crash.


4. A suggestion here: Wouldn't it be nice to have some sort of statement 
saying "clicking on set root password" spoke will not halt/disturb the 
disk partitioning and installation? This would be nice particularly 
because every other step is completed in the hub and "root password" 
screen appears later ..

As I am writing, the installation is going on...
