When I install XFree (after reboot with the default menu) with Desktop option, I got a QWERTY keyboard instead of a AZERTY Keyboard (Gnome by default). I had to fix it through the Gnome keyboard menu. Everything is ok after that. 2) I found that the proposed list of options (desktop, ftp server, ldap server, web server, ...) is not enough precise. I would appreciate if I can make a finer selection without going into dselect (which I had to do after that to add/remove some packages). For instance, we could have some options like what apache server we wanted (1.3 or 2.0), what option for the desktop (full with all options (Gnome + Kde +...) or with sub-options (Gnome/Kde/part of Gnome/Kde/...), what option of security (firewall or not, filtering, ...), what default behavior for login (Xfree or text) (since for server it is not very useful to have Xfree started by default). In the same way, I would appreciate if wa can select standard tools by family in the list (rsync tool, webmin tool, ...). 3) I think for general users it would be useful if the video card could be detected. At least, it can try to detect it, then, if not detected, showing the list of video card, or if detected, showing the detected one and ask the user to confirm. 4) I know it can be difficult, but if we can have every questions through installation in the beginning of the installation and not during the 2 hours, it would be also greatly appreciate for general users. Except that, everything is ok.
