The following call for tests also stands for localized installs.
Traditionnally, localized installs are the less tested parts of D-I,
most often because *very few* translators take care of testing D-I in
their own language, with their own translations.
With curren emulators, it is *very easy* to test D-I (I recommend
virtualbox-ose if you don't use etch, or qemu otherwise....there is a
wiki page about using qemu for D-I testing).
So, please test *now* instead of whining later that <foo> is not
working when installing in language <bar>.

Hello,
We're starting the work for D-I Beta1 release and we would like ask to
everyone to test the installer as much as possible, especially in not
so common architectures where we receive less general testing.
In the current timeline, we will stop to accept fixes for the
installer in few days so any important issues need to be fixed _now_.
You can find the latest installer, for your pet architecture, at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ and if you find any
issues file a installation report.
Thanks in advance and let's make Lenny the best release ever made!
Cheers,
Otavio Salvador
on behalf of Debian Installer Team
