It turns out I never added a check to prevent an empty string. It's now 
fixed in the latest development version. If the user just hits <enter>, 
they are prompted to enter a vaild value. Currently being tested, version 
0.3.94 also adds the possibility to select only specific locale support, 
the option to select mozilla and openoffice packages, and fixes a few 
other minor bugs in addition to the one Ingo mentioned.
