I want the first one, but not the second one. In generaly the second, but the first is also okay _if_ you run dpkg-reconfigure locales somewhere in base-config. > For the first one to work, the 'locales' package must be installed > installed and /etc/locale.gen updated before locale-gen is executed.

But I still don't see why you need the massive changes in dbootstrap if base-config is doing the job. > In addition to the 'locales' package, some languages needs to install > a special frame buffer terminal to be able to show the characters.

Okay, so my statement: This things should not be included into woody. Instead, we create a patchset, so CD distributors that want localisation can enable it. This means, for special CD distributions, someone can take patched BFs, with patched debootstrap (*) and patched base-config. (*) This is the easiest option instead of modifying the BFs themselves. > Here is a modified patch for boot-floppies. > > Index: dbootstrap.h Looks okay in most parts, but locales depends on debconf!
