Je ferais de mon mieux. Un rosbif ici et il y a des ans que je ne parle
pas francais mais j'ai fait des centaines d'installations de Debian pendant
quelques 27 ans - il n'y a que deux ou trois avec un clavier azerty :(
I'll do my best. I'm an Anglo who hasn't spoken French for years but I've
done hundreds of installs of Debian as a tester over the years, though
only a couple with AZERTY.
Il y aura un miroir tout pres du Debian qu'on puisse utiliser?
Will there be a very close/local mirror of Debian that we can use?
