Comments/Problems:
Compared to the bullseye installer I had used in the past, I didn't
had to copy the non-free firmware drivers for my wlan to
work. Additionally the bookworm RC1 installer kept the wlan setup
stored after boot and I had internet access from the very first boot,
which wasn't the case with the old bullseye installer.
I had several other problems which were related to my decision to keep
the previous partitioning with encrypted root filesystem and no
separate boot partition, and another encrypted home partition with my
data (which I kept intact), which were solved by roughly following
this guide:
https://www.blakehartshorn.com/installing-debian-on-existing-encrypted-lvm/
and eventually copying encryption keys to initramfs in order to avoid
the multiple password prompts.
Maybe the part that existing partitions are encrypted and offering to
luksOpen them from within the installer, could be provided as an
option though the installer in the future. This isn't a request
specific to bookworm/RC1 of course.
The install was made with TPM disabled. This laptop has a TPM module
and by default is enabled. I hadn't tried if the installation works
with TPM enabled.
