I can't think of any real traps that boot-floppies fell into. Most of the problems we had were either due to poor / nonexistent i18n awareness in other programs (whiptail, for example), or were caused by the need to support both UTF-8 and straight 8-bit builds in parallel (e.g. the seemingly endless newt/slang ABI drama). If d-i can nail its colours firmly to the UTF-8 mast and commit to having that as the only supported encoding, that would be a big benefit. p. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
