Thanks for the bug report.
Could you provide the file /root/drakx/report.bug.xz as an attachment ?
If you don't have the file, you can switch to console 2 (by pressing 'Ctrl-Alt-F2') during installation, put a floppy in floppy drive or plug a USB key/stick and type: 'bug' then press Enter. It will put report.bug on the floppy/key.

Request for info not replied for nearly a year.

Since last years installer cannot be fixed as we have currently M5 installer please reopen if the same occurs under M5 or later. Thanks.
