Kind of. One one level, I mean locale when I write language above. On another, I do not. > All translations in debian-installer use UTF-8 encodings, whereas > people might want to use a locale with their legacy encoding. Or do > you want to only propose UTF-8 locales by default? I expect to use a common locale in d-i to keep glibc happy (like [EMAIL PROTECTED] used by bootfloppies), and to use a different and langauge-dependant locale when the system boots from hard drive. In other words: Language choosen by languagechooser maps to one specific locale, but this locale is not used by d-i. It is only used by base-config after the system boots. > I also wonder what happens with the locales package at installation > time, is it installed and configured? Yes, it should be installed. I do not think it will be configured by default. termwrap in base-config will try to generate the locale needed to get translations working in the second stage installer using LANG_INST and LANGUAGE_INST passed in /target/root/dbootstrap_settings. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
