Hi !
Going through the Installer and getting "stuck" at the first 2 question
already: Language and Location.
If I chose English, I'm only allowed to chose officially English
speaking countries. Why can I not have an English installation, when I
currently live in Germany for example ? While I can most likely change
that post installation, it is still quite irritating. There should at
least be a button for "other" or "differs" or some such.
Great work regardless, keep it up ! :)

After seeing the resulting scm file it makes a lot more sense. I might
have written this e-mail a tad bit too hastily.

Well even if it makes sense now, we don't want users to be confused when installing their system. What happened exactly? Maybe we can fix the wording or something?

I think it was just me being a bit .. slow at that very moment. I
somehow interpreted "Choose a territory for this language" as the actual
location which would be used for the timezone and such, not as the
'variant' of the language. It might help if the language code is listed
along the territory name
* Australia - en-AU
* Botswana - en (?)
* Canada - en-CA
or the other way around.
...
While I was looking at the list a bit more closely, it doesn't seem to
follow any standards or best practices. is en_DK even a thing ? What
about en-TT (trinidat) or en-JM for example ? I never delved into
locales, maybe it's some *x specific quirk ..
