ive had problems with the installer on 6.06 (ive never installed 6.10,
mainly because 6.06 is LTS) where it either doesnt create my password
right (or doesnt create it at all and i cant log in), or sometimes it
doesnt install grub (or if it does, it doesnt configure it).
ive never had that issue with Fiesty
