1908    
1909     - do not sort languages in "choose language" step in graphical mode, since the

1926     o just like stage1, handle <root of distrib> ending with current arch() so
1927     that we can access main32 on x86_64
1928     - do not rebuild rpmdb if it is ok
1929     (will workaround #32547) (need perl-URPM 3.01)

1963     wipe_drive
1964     - in case of ftp/http media, we select basesystem before doing
1965     bestKernelPackage so we must ensure the choice callback selects the good
1966     kernel (reported by Thomas Spuhler on cooker mailing list)
1967     - do propose "Suisse" after selecting french language (#34675)
1968     - use time() to know when to timeout (when launching installer X server)
1969     since the loop may be slower than 1 second (xf86misc::main::Xtest takes time
1970     on a failing X server on i810). Also print a message telling user to wait
1971     after 8 seconds.

1985    
1986     - use /dev/cdrom in fstab, but do not write corresponding udev rule
