The situation in Woody is: no support for bidi/RTL; the first stage installer (dbootstrap) mostly works with UTF-8; the second stage installer (base-config) currently does not. We might possibly get base-config i18n into a woody point release but I wouldn't bet on it. There is no prospect of bidi support appearing in this codebase. Right now I don't know what the situation is with i18n in debian-installer, either the status right now or in terms of a future roadmap. I would hope that by the time d-i reaches primetime it will have full support for UTF-8. Making it work with bi-di is probably going to involve some effort from people who are familiar with those particular issues. p. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
