The installer supports 73 languages, of which 56 are fully translated. All the changes are listed in the Debian Installer team's announcement [1] to the Debian community. 1 : http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/News/2012/20120804 The team asks Debian users to help in testing and improving this new version of the installer: while there are some known issues [2] with the installer that do not need to be reported, it is very important to try the installer in order to find all possible bugs before the release. 2 : http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/errata Problems should be reported as an installation report [3]. More experienced user can help by triaging bugs for upgrade-reports [4] and installation-reports [5] pseudopackages or by proposing texts for problems, which should be documented in the release-notes [6]. Installer CDs, other media and everything else you will need to install Debian on one of the thirteen architectures supported, are available at the web site [7]. 3 : http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/ch05s04.html#submit-bug 4 : http://bugs.debian.org/upgrade-reports 5 : http://bugs.debian.org/installation-reports 6 : http://bugs.debian.org/release-notes 7 : http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ About Debian ------------ The Debian Project was founded in 1993 by Ian Murdock to be a truly free community project.
