Comments/Problems:
rc2 businesscard install, automated via preseed/url file. On my initial
attempt I booted with:
0 languagechooser/language-name=English preseed/url=http://<url>
debconf/priority=critical
That resulted in the following two lines being output to the screen
continuously:
Unknown localized field:
Description-C.UTF-8
The install never proceeded and just output the above repeatedly until
reset. I booted again without the languagechooser option, the system came
up to the language selection screen and then continued on hands-free with
my preseed choices once I chose English.
Thanks,
