[Bug 164137] [NEW] Two problems when installing without an Internet connection

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

Hello,

I just installed gutsy on a new computer. I didn't attach it to the
network while installing, and it caused two problems. These problems are
quite easy for experienced users to fix, but I think that they might be
annoying for newcomers.

First of all, assuming that having an internet connection makes
installation better, I think that the installation program should
suggest that the user will connect his computer to the Internet if he
can. In my case it was very easy, I just haven't thought about that.

Now, to the actual problems:

1. The ubuntu repositories weren't selected. After the installation
finished, I connected my computer to the Internet and run update
manager. It said that my machine was up to date. It was wrong - the
repositories just weren't selected. I think that if I were an
inexperienced user, my system would have remained insecure.

2. The language I selected was half-installed. I chose to install my
system in Hebrew, which is, I think, a language that isn't available on
the installation CD. The result was that some of the items in the gnome
menu were in Hebrew, but otherwise the system was in English. When I
opened language manager before updating my system, the default language
was Hebrew, but the list of languages included only English. After I
updated my system, the list included Hebrew, and I selected it, and now
everything is fine.

Thanks,
Noam
