Comments/Problems:

The installation was done by the owner of the machine who had never
installed an OS before. But I was helping out rather quickly when
problems occoured, I didn't tested if she would manage to install Debian
herself without my help. And I avoided some of the complexity by
using a DHCP server.

>From a technical pov all went smooth and fine, only a few usability
nitpicks:

The keyboard chooser has as default for a German install something like
"german (no deadkeys)". I don't know how many people will actually
understand the word "deadkeys" but it strongly confuses the others.
I'm not sure if this notion serves any purpose without an explanation.
(Of course in fact it says "deutsch (keine Tottasten)" but the
translation has nothing to do with the problem)

What do the symbols "flash" and "smile" in partman mean? I normally
ignore them and just realised this now. Wouldn't it be better to explain
them? I don't find them intuitive to understand (in fact I still don't
know what they mean, they are not explained in the installation manual
either).

I think the proxy question should have a "if you don't know what I'm
talking about, just try to leave this blank" in it.

I also found some problems in the german translation of base-config but
will mail them directly to the translator.

In general: Great Installer :)

Gruesse,

Dennis Stampfer removed any reference to "no deadkeys" in the german
translation of console-data, so this bug is no more an issue.
