I'm working on them today anyway. Is anyone from debian-boot interested in adopting bogl, by the way? I adopted it in order to start the bogl-based d-i frontend a long time ago; I don't know if anyone ever picked up that code to do anything with it or not. And I haven't had time to work on it in a very long time. Bogl needs at the least to have some attention given to scrolling performance (which _sucks_). My other question is if bterm is still necessary. As I recall it was used in order to support UTF-8, right? But Linux kernels as of 2.4.x have native UTF-8 support on the console; is it inadequate? -- Daniel Jacobowitz MontaVista Software Debian GNU/Linux Developer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
