And I've had bug #66604 open for months too. I need to track down some

No, I'm just saying we don't ship, by default, LANG_CHOOSER enabled

I was just looking at stormix's cvs (cvs.stormix.com) looks like there
installer is modular, maybe we can learn from what they have done.

Package: boot-floppies
Version: N/A;
Severity: normal
The boot-floppies should add _active_, suitable deb lines to the default
/etc/apt/source.list file, so as to allow even clueless users to access the
emergency security updates BY DEFAULT.
It would be a good idea to get this fixed for the next

Hi,
I found that of my 2GB root filesystem more than 10% is wasted because it has
been formatted by the potato installer with a 4K block size instead of 1K.
In other words if the same files are stored on a filesystem with 1K-blocks I
have other 200MB available.
This is the test I have done:

Sorry for the serious cross-post but no one seems to be reading
debian-release right now, and I want this to propogate widely.
Boot-floppies 2.2.17, a major bugfix point release for Potato, is
being uploaded to samosa now. I shall put it up on
