Comments/Problems:
Only translation-related problems (some of them already known)
French chosen as installation language
Keyboard selection screen still in english (happens with all languages)
cfdisk still in english
Network configuration is a bit confusing due to french translation
(mostly for the name servers configuration). A few changes are need to
the fr.po file for netcfg, imho.
Partconf still has the untranslated "Create xxxx file system" entries
The screen is occasionnaly not cleaned up before the main menu pops up
again : for instance, when running prebaseconfig, getting an error
because of network problems while trying to fetch the Release
file.....the "Retrieving" window remained behind the main menu when I
came back to te main menu.
Some occasional "Validating %s" during prebaseconfig
Inconsistency in french translations for lilo/grub ("sur le disque
dur"/"sur un disque dur" for menu entries)
2nd stage:
"Configure keyboard" does nothing
Regions are not sorted alphabetically in French (debconf probably
needs the same change Denis amde in the past to cdebconf) when
configuring the timezone
The "password setup" screen for the root password is a bit too long in
french and thus may not show on one screen. The translator (me!)
should save one line.
The french translation problem in base-config prevents configuring APT.
Too much entries in the list of package selection methods (know
problem because of stupid translator)
First screen of exim-config way too long. Users will probably hit Enter and then won't see the second part...:-(
