I'm willing to help out. I have a small little test-bed that I have
been using to test d-i for the past number of weeks. I'm also pretty
good at pointing out niggling little interface flaws (as anyone I work
with will tell you ;-)
I currently cannot get a d-i install to the point where base-config
runs on my test machine (see my last install report), but I will try
again this week (hopefully tonight). Also, I'm pretty useless as far as
i18n and other arch's are concerned -- en_US / i386 are all I have.
Oh, one other thing, IANADD; however, I am in the NM queue and I figure
there are enough DD's hanging around on this list that I can corral one
to make an upload for me when you are not around.
Again, I would be happy to help out. If you are still interested, mail
me privately and tell me what you would like me to work on (as I haven't
gotten to the point where I can run base-config and see for myself what
needs work).
