Comments/Problems:

The installer started in text mode and not g-i, I assume it's something
to do with qemu.

Some installer screens are not translated. But most of them are in
Hebrew and it works really nicely too!

There is a screen to choose locale for Hebrew, It's not translated and I
think it makes more sense to default to the he_IL.UTF-8 locale all the
time. There is very little reason to use the default he_IL locale.


It fails to install during mkinitramfs with the error:
Cannot create /target/etc/mkinitramfs/initramfs.conf: Directory nonexistent
