Package: installation-reports

Using mini.iso,
On "[?]Debian installer main menu"
first the "[?]" is meaningless.
Also we see
<tab> moves, <space> selects, <enter> activates button

those are all wrong.

They should be
<arrows> moves, <enter> selects.

Your report is more than four years old, it has probably been acknowledged well enough,
thus I close it now.

You are right, the installer lives in a CD-image, but it's a hybrid ISO-image, that's
also bootable from USB-storage keys. If people dd'ed the image onto an USB-stick and use
it for installing, then they should normally be knowing what they do and should not be
mislead too much by the reference to the traditional original medium CD.
