Comments/Problems:
I choose language=en, different country, then select Hungary, and during
installing base packages, I get the following error: perl: warning:
Setting locale failed. (LANGUAGE=(unset) LC_ALL=(unset))
Cannot boot into windows without hacking grub, but that is a known
problem as far as I know.
