So, you actually never choose *German* language which is logical as the instalmler in low memory mode never allowed you to do so. As a consequence, I find it pretty logicial that you end up with an English-speaking system. > After the installation I noticed that the keyboard layout obviously did > not work right as the umlauts (ä, ö, ü, ß) did not work.

This is mostly because there is abolutely not locale environment, again, so the console is not switched in UTF-8 mode (which happens only with UTF-8 locales, afaik). I'm not sure this really can be called a bug
