Comments/Problems:
I used the french translation which is quite good, except one sentence
remained untranslated, in the GRUB step i think.
The installer detected my network cards but i don't know whether the
dhcp works since my computer isn't connected to the network yet.
I got an error message when i tried to use LVM at the partition step. It
seemed to be impossible for the partitions wasn't created or something
like that but he asked just before whether i wanted to create the
partitions... Anyway i don't reallly neeed LVM but i wanted to try it.
Besides, the letter like "è" or "é" were well handed during the
installation. Sadly, after the first reboot, they became completely
wrong ("ô" instead of "é", and other things like this). My locales are
correct (fr_FR@euro) so i wonder what went wrong. I'll try to fix when i
have updated my system.
Apart from this, I found the whole process very easy, it took me less
than an hour for downloading, burning and installing the base system. I
didn't expect it and i'm very pleased with it.
Thanks a lot, good work guys.
