i'm having a weird experience trying to use a d6 platform
i successfully installed 0.1 with a drupal 5 platform
then i added a d6 platform - following the instructions on the 0.1 release page
tried adding a site (which is actually a subdomain of the main domain - i.e. d6test.example.com where example.com points to the main ip of my server)
i go to that site and do the password reset thingie
then when i log into that site it looks like the main hostmaster install, NOT a drupal content site like I expected (and see with the sites i launched on the drupal 5 platform)
so i see the different platforms - and create content offers me the option to create a site or a platform...
hmm, now i created one with a fresh domain
and it looks OK
at first but when I try to 'reset password' the page is 404
any ideas?

solution found to last issue mentioned there
I wasn't sure where I was supposed to put the platform drupal install.
For example, I have my main aegir install in
/var/www/html
so I thought I'd put the platform in
/var/www/drupal6
and pointed a fresh IP at that to do the hostslave install.
But that lead to the issue above where I was getting 404 errors for any page but the root when I tried to install as site.
I was able to solve this by moving the platform install to
/var/www/html/drupal6
and then updating the publish path and the paths in the VirtualHost files for the test domains I had.
Seems to work like a charm now.
In any case, if it's a requirement to install the directory that holds the platform install in a subdir of the main install then that should be specified in the install notes (it may seem obvious but people like me will mess it up).

I put my comment in the wrong place. I'm moving it.
