Comments/Problems:
a) - About network config: my adsl router (conceptronic) seems to answer
2-3 times with a NAK reply before ACK'ing a valid IP address. I need to
repeat dhcp autconfiguration once to get the values. I believ this is
particular to my network settings and this problem should be ignored by
debian developers as will not apply to others.
b) - The problem I want to report here is that after the installation is
complete I get a LANGUAGE variable setup with the following values:
LANGUAGE=en_PT:en_US:en_GB:en
"en_PT" makes no sense, correct value is pt_PT.
I have a clue of from where does this value comes from: I like my system
in english, so I choose "english" as the language, and then I have to
find "Portugal" where one needs to select the location... maybe the "en"
+ "PT" comes from those 2 choices...
c) - Kernel installed is not i686 but i386. This shoulb be working by
now, as stated in http://wiki.debian.net/?DebianInstallerFAQ
Bug 237529 should therefore be reopen
