I just tried a later ISO (from 2019-04-20) on one of my rp3440s and
didn't recognize the issue(s) Meelis mentioned.

I used a "normal" mode installation. The whole installation behaved like
e.g. it does on ppc64: i.e. mirror information need to be entered
manually, there's no country selection and the installer also doesn't
ask for the Debian codename/release to install.

@Meelis:
As you didn't mention what image you were using exactly, which ISO did
you actually use for testing (the date of creation is included in the
`/README.txt` on the ISO/disc)?

Cheers,
Frank
