Comment 1 for bug 290398

Sorry we haven't followed up until now; generally speaking I find it logistically very difficult to do serious work on the DVD for a variety of awkward reasons.

Could you apply the following patch to /usr/share/ubiquity/install.py (edit it by hand and massage to fit if necessary; it's in the install_language_packs method), re-run this test, and attach /var/log/syslog and /var/log/installer/debug to this bug report? Thanks in advance.
