I think that what he wants (and I tend to agree) is to limit *at package build time* what keymaps are shown *during an install*. Personally I don't have any problem with c-s offering the full 200.000 keymap variants when a user reconfigures c-s on an installed system. But during installation you have to somehow limit the choices, at least what is displayed by default for a specific country selected in localechooser, to a sane reduced list. I suggest you wait for my next test results and user interface proposal. I would appreciate having a new test image with the latest uploaded version before that. BTW, did you already fix the bug in Christian's last posted image where <go back> in the first dialog and the dialog after "other" results in an error? I also saw that the default for the encoding is no longer set correctly in that image. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
