I just ran a complete base system install with English as language and Norway as country, like you mentioned me. 20040722 netinst sif_d-i (sarge_d-i is very likely to have similar result) At the end of the install, neither root nor the created user have any locale set up. When doing dpkg-reconfigure locales, I find that the only generated locale is en_US.ISO-8859-1 (the UTF-8 flavour is not checked) with "None" as default locale. So, I don't really know why your friend install ended with the en_US.UTF-8 but it does not seems to be because of d-i..... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
