debian-installer feedback, incorrect locale and unclear " deslection" text
Hello,
Some other problems I did not mention with my previous report.
1. "Selecting from deselected PACKAGE" is a little unclear, could the
English be revised?
2. I selected English, United Kingdom British English during the
install. Then when I get into X, my config is pc104 (not pc105 as is UK
standard), and also the locale is "us". So I have to fix the
XF86Config-4 manually. [1] what I fixed it to
3. XF86Config-4 has two mice entries, even though I only have a single
PS/2 Optical Mouse. See appendix [2] for both entires
Kind regards
JG
Appendix:

Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"

Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Comments/Problems:
/dev/fd0 missing, and cd/dvd writing not setup. CD/DVD writer is:
_NEC ' 'DVD_RW ND-2500A ' '1.06'.
This is an IDE model, which is on /dev/hda, I had to convert it to work as /dev/scd0 to write cds.
