Ups, thanks for the report. The fixes for the first two problem are now in
the CVS (and are included in this mail for review), but the third one is not
a translation problem, I guess.

Moreover, I fail to understand why you did set the gravity to important.
Because I said that ext3 isn't kernel 2.4 complient?
Because I used the wrong tense to translate "installing"?
Because it's written two time "Next" in when reinstalling the system?
I'm pretty lost here.

#: partition_config.c:1063

msgid "Creating Ext%s filesystem (for 2.2 and newer kernels only)...\n"
msgstr "Création du système de fichiers ext%s (pour les noyaux >=2.2
seulement)...\n"

#: extract_base.c:148
msgid "Installing Base System"
msgstr "Installation du système de base"

#: extract_base.c:150
msgid "Installing Base System, please wait..."
msgstr "Installation du système de base, veuillez patienter..."

I would say, it's not my fault. I translate what is given to me, but I think
you spoted a problem in the original. Can you remember the messages
associated with each possibility?

Maybe the following:
title: Make System Bootable (Rendre le système amorçable)
Next: Make a Boot Floppy (Créer une disquette d'amorçage)
Alternate: Reboot the System (Réamorcer le système)
or 
Alternate: Start New System (Démarrer le nouveau système)

You're not supposed to see the two alternates, but only the reboot one if
you can't chroot, and the second one if you can chroot.

I can't see what could be the third, but that's definively not a translation
problem.

#: main_menu.c:712
msgid "Next"
msgstr "Suivant"

#: main_menu.c:717
msgid "Alternate"
msgstr "Autre choix"

#: main_menu.c:723
msgid "Alternate1"
msgstr "Autre choix 1"

#: main_menu.c:729
msgid "Previous"
msgstr "Précédent"

#: main_menu.c:735
msgid "Previous1"
msgstr "Précédent 1"

Thanks again for the report, Mt.
