Hello Guix!

I made changes to the installer so it=E2=80=99s almost ready as far as I=E2=
=80=99m
concerned.  It now displays language and territory names in the right
language.

If you give it a try, you can select =E2=80=9Cfran=C3=A7ais=E2=80=9D as the=
 language and
check whether Julien did a good job.  ;-) Other languages are still
missing, but we=E2=80=99ll get there (translations are taken from the =E2=
=80=98guix=E2=80=99
package though, so we need to update it to get them.)

Besides, the installer allows you to select not just one of the
full-blown desktop environments but also the lightweight window
managers.  At this point it pretty much covers the desktop,
lightweight-desktop, and bare-bones examples that we had.

Things that are missing and would be nice to have, though I don=E2=80=99t t=
hink
these are blockers:

  =E2=80=A2 A dialog box to configure static networking.  I=E2=80=99m not s=
ure how to do
    that with newt.  Mathieu?  :-)

  =E2=80=A2 Proper translations of timezones and XKB keyboard layout names.=
  As
    commented in commit 7cb7be17af77caa084c1b5ebf20748dd04f208fa, we
    don=E2=80=99t really have timezone translations, but I=E2=80=99m pretty=
 sure Debian
    has something for these!

  =E2=80=A2 There=E2=80=99s a bug that I probably introduced in commit
    850ddf94e86a1711328e39872c7830ad6d5020b4: the installer crashes when
    one tries to jump back to the =E2=80=9CLocale=E2=80=9D step.  Mathieu, =
any ideas?

Testing and feedback welcome!

Ludo=E2=80=99.
