I make a german debian cd-set for linuxland.
I patch rootdisk.sh with:
if [ "$language" = "de" ]; then
info "modifying initial inittab to run base-config in language $language"
sed "s,/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure base-config,sh -c 'export LANG=de_DE ; exec
/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure base-config'," \
< $scripts/prototype/etc/inittab.install > $T/etc/inittab.install
fi
This work.
