Thanks a lot for this Cyril. I'll have a close look tomorrow and reply in 
detail then.

I have given your image (it used console-setup) a quick try earlier today 
and was very impressed. I noticed a few minor issues [1], but in general 
it worked perfectly.

[1] Main UI issue was that "help" dialog are not sized correctly. To see 
that, install in expert mode and click the help button on one of the 
locale selection screens.
