Bug#304248: install report - alpha 500au - first soft-reboot fails



(Steve, in case you missed that one)

Quoting Peter Vandenabeele (peter.vandenabeele@mind.be):

Well, given that a consecutive "hard" reboot worked, I don't know if
this can be easily reproduced and/or investigated. Steve, you're
tagged as "alpha wizard", among many other things....any thoughts?

woody did not set up a default locale while sarge does. You've got the
answer..:-)

Indeed, there's already a wishlist bug report about languagechooser
for being able to setup a C "locale". This will be post-sarge, though.

design choice...:-). I guess that Joey Hess could better explain
why...but, indeed, I'm wondering similarly : when will we make
"stable" the default choice for the installer at the key places?
