Bug Description
Hello,
In previous version of ubuntu, the installer ask for languages with english as default. This is the case in most OS installers. With gfxboot, users have manually open the language menu to change the langage. This menu is in english. A timeout "stress" the choice.
I suggest to popup a dialog box that allow user to select his language, before selecting the action( install, rescue, memtest, etc.).
Étienne.

This bug was fixed in the package gfxboot- theme-ubuntu - 0.5.2
--------------- theme-ubuntu (0.5.2) hardy; urgency=low
gfxboot-
* Ask for language before displaying the main menu (LP: #39888). access- options keywords in isolinux.cfg are now deprecated
* Filter out translations for various languages (Arabic, Dzongkha, Indic,
Mongolian, Thai) that we cannot render properly for various reasons
(LP: #46985, #56145).
* Give checkbox semantics to the items in the F6 "Other Options" menu.
* Add acpi=off, noapic, and nolapic options to the "Other Options" menu.
* Display the "Other Options" menu for the live CD too, but without the
d-i expert mode option.
* Use theme background colour as the colour for dialog title bars and
progress bars (LP: #28795).
* Fetch foreground, background, and access-options from gfxboot.cfg in
preference to isolinux.cfg. The gfxboot-foreground, gfxboot-background,
and gfxboot-
and support for them will be removed after Ubuntu 8.04.
* Include po/ in the binary package for consistency with gfxboot-theme-*,
although you should generally just use bootlogo.tar.gz rather than
building the theme afresh (LP: #39930).
