Comments/Problems:
I selected the Finnish language, and I am going to use the Finnish
strings, since I don't know the corresponding English strings (I will
translate the translations back to English).
Booted OK. In "Tee verkkoasetukset" (network configuration), there are
strange middle-dot characters between words. There are missing
whitespace between certain words in the "Valitse peilikopio" (choose
mirror) screen. The translation "Valitse peilikopio", BTW, sounds
strange; it's literally "choose a copy of the mirror".
After partitioning and creating file systems, the installer screen is
empty for quite a long time, which made me wonder if it had hanged (it
hadn't).
During "Asennetaan perusj=E4rjestelm=E4=E4" (install base system), visual
feedback on progress is lacking. The progress bar is updated with too
long intervals.
In "J=E4rjestelm=E4n uudelleenk=E4ynnistys" (system reboot), I am advised
about a custom boot floppy. Since I was never offered creating one, it
sound strange and confusing.
After reboot, Starting MTA takes a looooong time. There were some error
messages about keymaps, but they went by too quickly to be read. I am
asked about my keyboard again (should reuse the pre-reboot choice), I get
the error message again, and I later discover I still have the US keyboard
layout although I chose "Finnish" (and it worked pre-reboot).
I am asked about my timezone. Could reuse the pre-boot locale choices?
Helsinki is filed under "Intian valtameri", not "Europe" (and "Europe"
lists eg Adelaide).
After creating the user, I get the menu. I try to manually select
setting up apt, but I get the following message:
/usr/sbn/base-config:: line 138: ./menu/n: tiedostoa tai hakemistoa ei
ole
(that's "no such file or directory"). I log in at another VC, run
apt-get update and then try selecting the next menu option, select
packages to install or some such. The installer appears to freeze and
I lose my patience; I type shutdown -h now in the other VC, and during
shutdown, I see the installer was not frozen, but I no longer could
abort shutdown. I stopped here and went to bed.
Overall, looks very good even though there are lots of minor problems.

I'm processing old installation reports, and have, finally, gotten to
yours. Thanks for talking the time to file an installation report.
I'm closing your installation report, after determining that:
- Some problems you reported are no longer present in current versions of t=
he
installer.
- Some problems you reported are known, and have existing bugs in the BTS.
- Your report mentions some strange problems that seem unlikely to be
present in current versions of the installer.
If you can, please try installing again using a current version of the
debian installer. I recommend the tc1 release, which you can find on our
web page, <http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/>. If you can, try
to reproduce the problems you reported using it, so we can verify that
they're all fixed. We look forward to your new installation report.
