Comments/Problems:
* If I leave the "domain" field empty in the hostname selection screen,
resolv.conf expectedly only gets a "nameserver" line, and the resolver
does not resolve my (non-fully-qualified) proxy name. Although it is
normal, I have to switch to tty4, where the log just tell that the mirror
does not carry wheezy (sic).
* I do not remember any prompt telling me to check time, but TZ is correctly set
* when partitionning (assisted lvm), double clicking on a partition
to see details, then back to main screen, the partition is still
selected and clicking on "continue" unexpectedly just enters the same
partition-editing dialogs again
* only a single task to be selected in the installer (standard system utilities),
probably why no desktop env has been installed (selected XFCE)
* selecting task-french, task-french-desktop, task-xfce triggers conflict between
- myspell-fr and myspell-fr-gut
- hunspell-en-us and myspell-en-us
* I would have expected http_proxy to be propagated to /etc/environment, not just to apt.conf
(although for a laptop it is probably better not to do that)
Those seem to be problems of the package versions on install CD, but fixed in current wheezy:
* no extended package descriptions are downloaded by apt on first update after install,
only on second update
* aptitude with french l10n does not translate "yes/no" to "oui/non" in confirmation dialogs,
but does it only accepts "o" instead of "y" (not any more after upgrade ?)
