after selecting German/Germany everything goes to German translations EXCEPT first line: Choose Language :-) This is intentional (we should make this a FAQ:-)) so that people mistakenly choosing the wrong language may still change this easily. Or make it multi-language.

Possibilty to load image from network?

I once made a custom Mandrake 8.2 installation system for my office where I just had a floppy and all the rest was downloaded over the network. This involved basically a modified SYSLINUX.CFG on the netboot disk that had a entry like label mundn kernel vmlinuz append initrd=network.rdz

updates to INSTALLER-HOWTO: pxeboot

The INSTALLER-HOWTO refers to http://lists.debian.org/debian-testing/2003/debian-testing-200311/msg00098.html for a reference to pxeboot. However, this document is, as of today, no longer correct. For example, we now use devfs. This is how I got it working. I did not follow steps 1. to 6.

Not with the released images. The problem is that d-i is too big for one floppy with all the translations. It is possible to cut out a lot of that stuff, and possibly use a custom kernel, and cram it onto one floppy that is able to get on the net and download the rest of the installer and do

In the keyboard-layout choser, you can only select german (no-dead-keys), but not the other german format with dead keys. The translation of no-dead-keys into ohne Tottasten is not good. It means without Death-keys. Better would be ohne tote Tasten. The template to select the debconf level
