Comments/Problems:
My installation problems exist only in the finnish language translation of the installation CD. The US English installation went just fine.
First the in the manual partitioning section of the installer "Finish partitioning and write changes to disk" is translated "Keskeytä osioiden teko (älä tallenna muutoksia)" which means "Interrupt partitioning (don't save changes)" . It should be translated as "Lopeta osioiden muokkaus ja tallenna muutokset".
Secondly the configuration of apt does not work. The reason is that the name of the entry in the installation menu is "Tee apt:n asetukset". Because in the menu-mapping file the display text and the corresponding configuration script file are separated with ":", the script file name does not get recognized correctly.
solution: change "Tee apt:n asetukset" to "Tee apt asetukset" in files: config.dat menu-mapping
After the corrections my installation was succesfull.
Great work, besides these small bugs the the beta3 installer is a great improvement :).
