Thanks Fred. I've taken a first look at the patch and will review it more thoroughly over the next days. One issue is that you've hardcoded a few strings, which means not everything can be translated. I've already fixed it for the devices dialog, but for the ISO selection dialog it requires a bit more work. > If you call the Debian Installer with default debconf level, it > automatically scans all devices and select the first detected ISO > (*but*, on the contrary of old iso-scan behaviour, it scans all > available disks before to select first ISO).

I'll see how it works out in practice, but maybe at high priority we should scan all devices without asking but, if more than one ISO was found, ask which ISO to use. The devices should eventually probably be listed in a more user-friendly format, similar to what we do in partman.
