Hi Paul,
Thanks for testing this!  I have just uploaded a new ISO which I linked
to ToriOS-Testing.iso (I will send a separate e-mail to inform everyone)
Some of the fixes below (the dialog titles in particular) will NOT be
included in the newest ISO... I will rebuild to include them later

The newest version of OBI is a bit different, but it does have a tick

It is, thanks for pointing this out, I will try to make it more clear
that you are setting LANGUAGE (a.k.a. locale)

You found a bug!
Apparently the variable I used for the Title was different from the one
I set... oops.

This will now say "Select Language" in the Title
 
There is also one for "Keyboard Layout" which I have made the Title
reflect now

Thanks for pointing this out as well.
"Keyboard Model"

This is unfortunate.  There is a check in place that does try to find if
the internet is connected before prompting to install updates.  It may
not have worked in that version... I did have to change/fix it recently,
so try again in the newest version and see if it works
