Oh right, yeah. I think the best we can do is have dbootstrap force the language to English (without offering the chooser) if it was built with LC on but detects a non-UTF8 locale at run time. I think all the English messages are just 7-bit ASCII so even the "UTF8" versions should display properly without a bterm. I'll see if I can cook something up this evening. Ideally you'd want it to recode to ISO8859-1 or whatever character set at runtime under these conditions, but I don't think that's realistic given the amount of time we have to work on it and the space situation on the root disk. p. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
