yesterday I tested the last installation-cd of Debian Lenny. I tried to
take the view for an unexprienced user and tested the autoinstall
routine for kde. As I own a 64-bit cpu, I chose 64-bit.
There were some things, I noticed, if they were discussed before,
please apologize.
A better way to communicate such thoughts would be to file an installation
report [1]. The debian-cd list does not really cover the installer
itself.
1. As I am German, I chose German. At some points, the translation
seems not always been to German. Especially at the point, were you have
to decide, which partition type you want (full harddrive, .with
lvm..., with enncrypted lvm, you know what I mean). Maybe you
should add a suggestion for unexperienced users (I chose the first
one).
Translation issues are best discussed directly with the translators on the
debian-l10n-german mailing list [2].
2. As everything else was working fine, I could start at last into kde.
BTW: The whole installation process lasted 30 minutes!!! Very fast!!!
Amazing!!! (A Vista installation on the same system with basic +
notebook-drivers lasted 3 hours.)
Yes, it is fast isn't it? :-)
Anyway, I remarked, that kde is still in English.
It shouldn't be. The installer will load localization packages for KDE
*if* they are available. Start aptitude and under tasks/localization look
for the German KDE desktop task. That task should get selected and
installed automatically.
All at all I liked the new install process, it is really fast, easy to
handle and seem to work well. Ah, and I used the multiboot-dvd, maybe
this is important to know.
It could explain the missing translation if you chose to use only the CD
during installation and did not also select a mirror.
Cheers,
