Comments/Problems:
I used the french translation which is quite good, except one sentence remained untranslated, in the GRUB step i think.
The installer detected my network cards but i don't know whether the dhcp works since my computer isn't connected to the network yet.
I got an error message when i tried to use LVM at the partition step. It seemed to be impossible for the partitions wasn't created or something like that but he asked just before whether i wanted to create the partitions... Anyway i don't reallly neeed LVM but i wanted to try it.
Besides, the letter like "�" or "�" were well handed during the installation. Sadly, after the first reboot, they became completely wrong ("�" instead of "�", and other things like this). My locales are correct ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) so i wonder what went wrong. I'll try to fix when i have updated my system.
Apart from this, I found the whole process very easy, it took me less than an hour for downloading, burning and installing the base system. I didn't expect it and i'm very pleased with it.
Thanks a lot, good work guys.
