1892     o just like stage1, handle <root of distrib> ending with current arch() so
1893     that we can access main32 on x86_64
1894     - do not rebuild rpmdb if it is ok
1895     (will workaround #32547) (need perl-URPM 3.01)

1897     - adjust Uzbek locale (cf locales-uz change)
1898     - sort languages in "choose language" step in text mode

1903     (ie PV on non partitioned drive)

1929     wipe_drive
1930     - in case of ftp/http media, we select basesystem before doing
1931     bestKernelPackage so we must ensure the choice callback selects the good
1932     kernel (reported by Thomas Spuhler on cooker mailing list)
1933     - do propose "Suisse" after selecting french language (#34675)
1934     - use time() to know when to timeout (when launching installer X server)
1935     since the loop may be slower than 1 second (xf86misc::main::Xtest takes time
1936     on a failing X server on i810). Also print a message telling user to wait
1937     after 8 seconds.
