I perfectly agree and I am sorry if my words sounded more like "you should use BabelBox instead" than "BabelBox can help here". Indeed, BabelBox already does at least the three tests you specifically mentioned: <[🔎] 201212052119.01562.holger@layer-acht.org">http://lists.debian.org/[🔎] 201212052119.01562.holger@layer-acht.org> - permutation through locale settings - partitioning recipes - boot the installed system, login and shutdown And my initial idea (yet to be completed) was to completely automate the creation of a BabelBox VM, which means that in theory at each commit of one of the d-i components you can test it in the VM: <http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Events/DebianEventsBox#stuff_to_do_with_a_demo_box> I am probably taking BabelBox too far away, but it is there ;-) Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
