-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
I tried debian-installer beta1 CD (net-install), and it worked on first stage. :-) (I reported font problem already.) But I noticed second stage (after reboot) had a problem for non-Latin users (Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and other non-Latin people needs special console). Scenario: 0. I choose Japanese for locale. 1. On second stage, termwrap (in base-config) checks whether jfbterm (jfbterm is multilingual console) was installed or not. jfbterm wasn't installed because its udeb wasn't exist. 2. But since LANG=ja_JP.eucJP setting is enable, so debconf messages will be broken. My idea: 1. Ask jfbterm maintainer to provide udeb package. (I've already asked maintainer Ukai, but not reported BTS yet) 2. In first stage, if selected locale needs multilingual console, prebaseconfig(?) installs jfbterm.udeb and bterm-unifont.udeb to /target. If we allow to waste some disk space, it is easier to install always these packages without checking locale. 3. In second stage, try to install FB (FrameBuffer) driver if terminal is console. 4. If terminal is console and FB is enable, run jfbterm such as 'jfbterm -c other,EUC-JP,iconv,UTF-8' (this means EUC-JP terminal with UTF-8 conversion) from termwrap. 5. If terminal is console and FB is disable, set LANG=C in termwrap. Welcome any comments.
