That's right. I can add it, if you think it will not destroy the
graphics for some other graphics card.

Good catch. I'd never notice that. As a matter of fact, I started with
English, but the installer found automatically my time zone ... Maybe I
have to ask someone in England of the United States to make the tarball
according to my recipe ;-)

Well, I'll change the time zone manually and see if that will remove the
glitch.

I think I understand, but I don't know if it would be a good idea to
make it completely end-user ready by clicking on the button in the top
left corner before making the tarball. Would you suggest that I do? Or
that there are two versions; the current one for OEM tweaks, and a
completely end-user ready version?

I selected the blue wooden wall. (I used the same name of the symbolic
link, but it is pointing to another file.) Do you suggest, that I should
use the default image?
