Comments/Problems:
First, i think it would be great to activate by default the num-lock touch because
there are no reasons to don't do it and it's pratical.
During the network configuration, i have two network cards and their names weren't
visible during the detection, i just got : eth0:10/100 MB ethernet card and the
same for eth1. I use only one of my network card so i changed of console and
type "dmesg" to see the name of the one on eth0 and one on eth1, i think it
would be good to print described names of network devices.
HD partitionning, in hd detection,it would be good to print the hdX name of hard drives(for users used to linux)
+primary-secondary master/slave(people used to windows) in addition of their types(IBM,maxtor...),indeed, when you are
used to use linux you know well the hda/hdb names of your devices.
cf-disk isn't traduced and is not very user friendly.
LILO boot loader installation,
i lost myself with the nomenclature /dev/ide/host0/....., i'm not familiar
at all with that(however i've a good known in linux) but much more with hda1, hdb2... notations.
So finally i installed lilo on the bad HD and i've to restart the installation.
I suggest to change that notations and replace it by hda/hdb notation +primary master...
During base-config, i got a bug, i configured the time (europe,paris) then the packages sources
on the net then, after the question:add another source to apt? i answered no i was got back
to the choice of time and so on... Finally i've to make cancel to exit this menu.
That's all, in all cases, it's already a very good job :-), keep on!
