Comments/Problems:
During a default install the user is unable to select a timezone outside
the Country specified during the keyboard/locale setting. In our case we
are located in Canada, but our systems use UTC time. This can be worked
around by using the expert install.
During tasksel process, if I select only the "Standard" package I get:
[ Select and install software ]
==== 18%
Retrieving file 82 of 82
and it hangs. If I switch virtual consoles it appears that the process in
hung on:
perl -w /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt
if I kill that process id, the install continues, otherwise successfully.

Closing this report as there was no follow-up to my last mail and we have
seen no similar issues in the mean time.
Cheers,
