Hm... so you forked your own version a month before release? The change they made seems... small at least. How is it that it works for them but not for you? Can't you workaround it somehow (is it a shell issue?) ? It seems not-the-debian-way to fork because of 'oneline' change (having in mind last discuss about apt-i18n package).

Thanks to > folks like you who are willing to try it out, it may attain 1.0 sooner. I am sure much more people would actually try it out if it were included on semi-official (enchanced ;-) CD images as the 'secondary installer' just like I want it to be. I think that having a described way of creating such 'combined, dual install' images (or better just 'having' them ;-) would populate the usage of PGI (even if it is beta ATM) - adventages are clear to both sides (developers of PGI and users). > > Am I alone in trying PGI?
