Comments/Problems:
1. While in d-i first stage (before the reboot), any move to other
consoles (e.g. alt+f2, alt+f3...) makes the first console unreadble. I get
red lines and display problems which makes a mess from the text showed. It
seems to me like a problem with the framebuffer.
2. I didn't see any option to choose lilo or grub. Maybe it's policy...
but still would be nice to have a chance to choose.
3. Bidi support is lacking. I see Hebrew backwards. I'm in this issue
since I'm doing the Hebrew translation, but still want to report it.
4. In the second stege while being ask about packaging (tasksel, deselect,
nothing) - I choose nothing. That still asked me to install many packages.
I think that there should be an option to not add anything more or to
modify the current option. I don't need most of these packages.
5. There are left some packages which aren't needed like slang.
6. Because of item 4 I didn't ever finised the base-config process...
7. I changed apt-get setting to use SID while using base-config. Just
letting you know.
8. Thank you for the work on d-i. I'm available at webmaster@guides.co.il
for any question.
