1889     wipe_drive
1890     - in case of ftp/http media, we select basesystem before doing
1891     bestKernelPackage so we must ensure the choice callback selects the good

1893     - do propose "Suisse" after selecting french language (#34675)
1894     - use time() to know when to timeout (when launching installer X server)
1895     since the loop may be slower than 1 second (xf86misc::main::Xtest takes time
1896     on a failing X server on i810). Also print a message telling user to wait
1897     after 8 seconds.
