The reasons for choosing a country are: - used to select correct time zone - determines the default country for mirror selection later - helps in selecting language variants (locales) Cheers, FJP [1] http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ [2] http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/ch06s03.html#localechooser -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
