I could type latin characters on Alt+F2 terminal, and I could switch keyboard to russian mode and type characters. Of course they were not displayed correctly because font was not loaded. Bit I could not type ANY characters (even latin) in newt-based installation program. Just tried the same with whiptail --inputbox. If it runs under russian locale, both latin and russian characters may be input. But it I set LANG=C, I get something similar to what was in d-i: no characters are displayed while typing. To be more special: it I start typing in latin more, characxters are displayed. But if I switch keyboard to russian, no more characters are displayed, evenafter keyboard is switched back. However, as whiptail stdout shows, in fact chars ARE being input... So it is not kbd-chooser, but newt/slang visual problem?.. Then bug should be reassigned... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
