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

The test I did was actually with the last weekly build which fails to
install, so they might not pertain to the latest daily build.
I've started testing the daily build and it has other problems.
This report needs to be closed (doing so now with this mail).
