One other thing that would be useful in the installer for some people
would be an ability to set the keymap early on. Granted, most of the menus
are navigable by up, down and return, but if you have a Dvorak keyboard
and you can't blind type on a qwerty keyboard, it really is difficult to
enter hostnames and directory paths, let alone passwords, for an ftp
install.

As I found when installing 1.5 on my workstation. :-/

Hmm... I could probably do an Esperanto translation if there's any demand
for such a thing...
