I installed the most recent Bullseye image [1] on my Pi4B (4GB) a few days ago. 
 It's happily running on the table next to me right now.

Here's what I found:

It loads and boots just as expected.  Apt and tasksel work and I was able to 
install all the utilities I need to make it useful on my network.

However, I noticed a couple of things that I should have expected, but 
nevertheless caused me some confusion at first:
1) The default timezone is set to UTC.  I had to manually set it to account for 
the fact that I live on the US West Coast.
2) When I tried to use aptitude, it complained about not having "locale" info.  
I would have expected default locale to be set to something like "C" that would 
avoid the error messages, even if some/most users would want to re-set it to 
their own preferences, later on.

It would be nice if there was a README describing these quirks (and any others 
I've missed), and how to deal with them after the first boot.  Even better 
would be if there was a script that automatically ran on the first boot that 
asked a bunch of questions and made the appropriate customizations 
automatically.  I'd be willing to write such a script if someone else would 
first write the README so I knew exactly what the script needed to do.

Great work!  Looking forward to the next iteration.

Enjoy!
Rick
