I think it was just me being a bit .. slow at that very moment. I
somehow interpreted "Choose a territory for this language" as the actual
location which would be used for the timezone and such, not as the
'variant' of the language. It might help if the language code is listed
along the territory name
* Australia - en-AU
* Botswana - en (?)
* Canada - en-CA
or the other way around.
...
While I was looking at the list a bit more closely, it doesn't seem to
follow any standards or best practices. is en_DK even a thing ? What
about en-TT (trinidat) or en-JM for example ? I never delved into
locales, maybe it's some *x specific quirk ..

Hi !
Going through the Installer and getting "stuck" at the first 2
question already: Language and Location.
If I chose English, I'm only allowed to chose officially English
speaking countries. Why can I not have an English installation,
when I currently live in Germany for example ? While I can most
likely change that post installation, it is still quite
irritating. There should at least be a button for "other" or
"differs" or some such.
Great work regardless, keep it up ! :)
