Comment 12 for bug 202959

Same issue here.

I do a dry-run in VirtualBox for a 64 MB install of Xubuntu 8.04.
I am discouraged to do the real install on my low memory machine.

There's 2 steps hanging:
* 75% Generating locales
- 24 min for step "localechooser: en_US.UTF-8"
* 1% Configuring language-pack-en-base
- 27 min for "in-target: en_AU.UTF-8"
- 27 min for "in-target: en_BW.UTF-8"
- 27 min for "in-target: en_CA.UTF-8"
- 27 min for "in-target: en_DK.UTF-8"
- 27 min for "in-target: en_GB.UTF-8"
.... and it continues ...

Is there any way to defer the locale generation for later install, or to pre-generate the locales with a faster system ?
