Some layouts get it > right (e.g. "Dänisch", "Französisches Kanadisch"), but many more Who says this? I think all this definitions match a keyboard type. What is "Deutsch"? I am not sure which keyboard layouts our neighbours have, but it is possible that there is a different one. Then it is also "Deutsch" but not the same as in "Deutschland". > "Französisch").

Good question. If we have a consens, am wont object to remove them. > The shell from the menu has a localised intro, but the tty2 shell > hasn't. Not doable easily due to design issues.

Unreproducible, it offers me all existing partitions and I do not see where it should break. If you mounted those partitions, than choose the "mounted" source instead. > Maybe this dialog should hint at the "mounted" option? Or even offer > to transfer the user directly to it? I.e. "Do you want to install from > a mounted partition instead? <Yes>/<No>" Why? You are the user, it was _your_ choice. Maybe the "harddisk" word is missleading.

I did not try it yet, but if this is possible, we allow the users to install un-loadable modules.

AFAICS base-config is localised, so the only > problem seems to be the passing of the language setting. Complicated. base-config seems to need locales. We have patches to install locales, but is is to late to make big changes, and AFAIK there is no good concept for non-latin languages.
