aurora 1.92 and anaconda installer

Hi aurora people,

after I read http://lists.auroralinux.org/pipermail/aurora-sparc-announce/2004-October/000025.html 
in the aurora-announce list, I have done the following:
- fresh full install aurora 1.0 on a sparc ultra 5
- follow the steps in the howto to go to aurora 1.92
- get all the available rpms built for 1.92
- create isos for 1.92

spot said that the installer bombs after keyboard selection. I found that this is right when I 
select "english" for the language and "us" for the keyboard but when I select "french" (because I'm french ;-) )
and "fr-latin1" for the keyboard I was able to go past this step until package selection. I haven't test
other languages nor keyboard selections but I hope that this can help you see what is wrong.

In the package selection step, anaconda complains because it cannot find "man-pages" pakage and it is right: 
man-pages is referenced in the comps.xml file but it doesn't exist as a package ...

another problem I encountered was during buildinstall, it was not able to create netboot images and I saw
somme errors in the output :
