Floppy installation currently does not support installing in other
languages than English.
However, I agree with you that the current installation using floppies is
confusing:
- you do get the languagechooser dialog allowing you to select other
languages than English
- if you do, the next dialog for country selection will show country codes
instead of country names
- after additional modules have been loaded from drivers floppy and CD,
there is a very strange mixture of languages:
- some dialogs will show a translated title and untranslated contents
- some menu choices in the main menu are translated (those loaded from
the cd-drivers floppy and the CD), while others are not (those loaded
from the root floppy)
However, I can not confirm that earlier choices are "lost" after the
installer loads additional modules from CD.

AFAIK DMA is enabled by default. See /proc/ide/hdX/settings (where hdX is
your hard disk).
