I tested on a brand new machine and it's working fine.
Just a few questions,

1. It installed Grub as the bootloader, I think because of UEFI. Is there a=
 way to use Syslinux? Has someone managed to use Alpine with Syslinux on UE=
FI system?

2. I see python2 and some python2 packages are still shipped. I remember a =
thread months ago that discussed to drop python2 because of EOL. Is that st=
ill a goal?


Anyway, the experience was smooth and the release is looking good.
