If I use America, USA instaed, then I can select between en_US and C in the following menu (as expected). This is a bad bug in the current version of localechooser. I'll fix it ASAP. 2) Due to wrong localization settings I am not allowed to select CET (or Europe/Berlin) in tzdata setup, either. I just get a restricted list of time zones to choose from (valid only in the US, as it seems). This is a consequence of the first issue, not a separate issue. You should be able to select Germany and that would automatically result in the correct timezone. 3) Aptitude shows that most packages were explicitly selected for install. d-i should make use of package dependencies instead, esp. for the lib* packages. This is a consequence of how debootstrap works and not an installer issue. I'm not sure that it can be fixed in debootstrap as one of the core attributes of debootstrap is that it sets up a base system *without* the use of package management tools. libunwind7-dev was installed by default. I would guess this is obsolete for a base system. The problem seems to be that the package has Priority: standard and thus gets installed automatically. Please file a separate bug report against libunwind7-dev as this is not a D-I issue. 4) I would prefer if grub doesn't include os-prober by default. This is a decision by the grub maintainers that is out of the hands of D-I developers. Please discuss it with them (or on debian-devel).

Re: [RFC] Patch to disable GTK in installer images
Hello all, Here goes the patch for last review before I commit it. After think about what Frans said, that it can take longer before we have g-i working again, I followed his suggestion and went further and redoing the patch commenting the stuff out instead of dropping it. I got a machine with disk space to build cowbuilder chroots for amd64 and i386, so I tested both builds. I also found a broken in my previous patch regarding hd-media for amd64 (and as consequence for i386) that is fixed as well. Cheers, -- Otavio Salvador O.S.

Comments/Problems:
Since the release of lenny (stable) it is not longer possible to install
etchnhalf ('suite=etch' or settings in presseeds) also the setup was
working well before (November, December 08). (Tried network and usb boot
on diffrent PCs). Replacing etch with oldstable does not help either.
Updated install media to current version, after expiring this problem
(does not help).

Closes: 518319
Changes:

.
* Revert incomplete solution from 2.28lenny2 for oldstable. It does not
work when users install in expert mode.
* Backport from trunk to improve validation of suites available on
selected mirror and suite selection. Closes: #518319.
Changes include:
- all suites available on a mirror get validated; if an inconsistency is
found in any suite (between directory/symlink names and Suite/Codename
fields in the Release file), the mirror will be rejected as invalid;
- if a release can be accessed using codename as well as suite, the
selection dialog will display both;
- proper support for oldstable; will only be listed in selection dialog if
it's the requested release (as installer default or through preseeding);
- improved support for mirror that only have codename directories, such as
archive.debian.org;
- support for mirrors that don't have codename directories (but use suite
names as directories);
- various code cleanups.
Many thanks to Jérémy Bobbio for reviewing the changes.
* Update translations for suites (especially of the new string 'oldstable')

The problem is, that installer in expert mode gives me options stable/testing/unstable and even if i try to create /target/etc/apt/sources.list with etch references i will end up with lenny. I just wanted to play with Zimbra, which is supported only on Etch. So thats the reason for oldstable. If this is not my fault i guess it's not worth for fixing so wouldn't be better to remove all oldstable's businesscard isos, so people wouldn't get confused and rather download netinstall/CD1/DVD1?
