(this is a wdiff, of ls -lR before > and after reverting the keymaps translation by claush) I respect your desire to get ja support into the i386 floppies, but I would really regret if we intentionally forced English menus into an otherwise localized installation process for all languages. IMHO if we *really* want to gain more space by dropping some of the localization support, we should choose the more uncommon error messages instead of pulling out a menu that *everybody* sees. (This would "only" confuse and annoy users getting these particular messages and still be a sluggish approach). Soon all languages can be chosen from any CD og DVD installation, which - some argue - is used by most people anyway. Wouldn't it be a pity to drop translations from these CDs that has lots of space for them just because it doesn't fit into the i386 floppy version? If we really *had* to leave out the translation of this menu, the only sane and consistent way would be to use the same scheme as in the language chooser menu: Translate each single item into the apropriate language. I hope b-f will continue to move in the direction of *improved* localization support - competing with other popular distributions. IMHO that will also include localized versions of programs like cfdisk and fdisk. BTW I still feel that the best quick-and-dirty solution providing support for more languages would be to offer a choice of root-disks with different sets of localizations. (Yes, that would even give smaller languages like my own a chance) I have tried to produce a patch to do just that automatically, but I'm a novice with makefiles and those of b-f are horribly complex to me. Of course you can manually edit the config file and rebuild another set of root disks, but I believe the builders would not accept that approach.
