Sorry, I forgot to add that the reason it is now useless is because I had imported it into the Git repository and then fixed some points: <http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=d-i/babelbox.git;a=commitdiff;h=2879ec58c241829072c18308fb1b9603d1694f98> >> <http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/BabelBox> > > Following that so far.

At least one: you do not want to block a machine for BabelBox only. This was the idea behind the Debian Events Box: you start BabelBox in a VM, so you still have a demo machine that can be tried out by the users or on which you can show other software. >> For wheezy, if you want to show GNOME 3 you need 3D, which means that >> you should probably also install one of the firmware-* packages.

I have never tried it, but given that it does not require any external firmware package everything should be fine from the beginning.

Do you mind testing everything without the above patch for preseed_late? As I wrote above, you should not need the extra firmware packages and the plymouth stuff is not fully tested.
