Well, as this is automatically generated, I figured that this wasn't a problem.

Well, for sure it is long, but this is the Official List of Countries in the World.....removing some of these would throw us into very bad political problems. So let's be very politically correct and use all of them, including French Southern Territories... I'm pretty sure Debian is used in Terre Ad�lie or Kerguelen Islands by the folks of M�t�o French there...:-) So, our only hope is a world becoming a bit less crazy and stopping to create new countries monthly..... Seriously speaking, the list sorting is more of a concern. I first need to add some sorting in English.....and after this, we will be thrown in the known problem of translations sorting (which is not countrychooser specific, by the way) > > > -look at other places which ask for a country (mirror location, > > timezone configuration) and adapt these for using > > debian-installer/country.

I wish so too. The choose-mirror country list is a first good target. The time zone configuraiton dialogs are not, probably because of the multiple timezones in some exotic countries..:-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
