I chose to install in finnish, but there was one screenful that was in
english. The header was in finnish "libc-client2002edebian:n asetusten
sÀÀtö", but the rest of the text was in english:

Libc-client earlier than version 2002d (and development versions of 2003) included ...



Progress bar while downloading files from Debian mirror progressed
only to about two tenths, then the red bar stopped. The number of
downloaded files / 738 continued to change as expected. I had chosen
to install all tasks except laptop.



I got one error, about printer config. I had chosen to install print
server task, but this host did not have any printer attached while
installing. I got back to installer main menu, and chose to do install
step again, and it continued without further errors.



System clock was not adjusted from time servers, seemed to just copy
time from hardware clock which was one hour off.


The e-mail setup did not ask me about smarthost, or other e-mail
settings. It is not immediately obvious how to set up
e-mail. Somewhere during the installation the user should be informed
to do dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config if he wants to send and receive
e-mail from the outside world.  Or to read Installation Manual chapter
8.5.


Installation manual explained several keypresses to get to BIOS
setup. This PC had Intel Desktop Board D845WN, for which the keypress
during POST is F2. Took me an our and a half first trying all the
keypresses mentioned in the installation manual and then finding F2 by
reading the motherboard manual. Perhaps all or at least some Intel
motherboards use F2, too?


Installation manual advices reportbug installation-reports for sending
the report. But BTS has so many installation-reports already, that I
got bored telling my bug is not among the several screenfuls listed,
and exited the program. Started it again with reportbug --no-query-bts
installation-reports, which in my opinion would be better command to
give in the installation manual.

thanks

Thanks for the report.

I'm cloning this bug to libc-client2002edebian not for the missing
translation (which is always a possibility, you'd need to talk to the
Finnish l10n team to get that resolved), but because it's inappropriate for
this debconf prompt to be shown to users on new installs because it's of no
relevance.

It arguably shouldn't be a debconf question at all (NEWS.Debian exists for
informing users about important changes, and debconf shouldn't be used to
second-guess apt), but that's more of a style question that reasonable
people seem to disagree on.

I'll leave the rest of your install report for someone else to analyze.

Cheers,
