Booting, aka. where things start to go wrong

So booting from the USB stick works... kinda.
While the screen is all garbled in GRUB due to bad modesetting that has something to do with the poor UEFI implementation of the s205, it actually boots and starts the bootsplash without graphical errors.

After booting the first things to note are:
1. Bluetooth defaults to off. Sensible defaults finally. Unlike Gnome 3 shell.
2. Wireless though detected does not see any networks. So I guess installation will happen offline.

Well turns out that installation will happen online since the installer actually detects my wireless network. I double check, the graphical network manager still doesn't detect anything.

Romanian translation of the installer is almost complete, only one slide is untranslated, the one advertising ubuntu one.
