It looks the job of termwrap.
How do you think about following flowchart, Joey?
n
check tty -> serial. 2nd stage as current LANG (*1)
| y
v y
check fb0(*2) -> run bogl-term as LANG(*3)
| n
v y
acceptable LANG without bogl-bterm?(*4) -> 2nd stage as LANG
| n
v
cancel LANG (use English)
|
v
2nd stage
*1: If you want to install in serial console/non-FB machine, you can
use only English installer, it means LANG of 2nd stage is always
English (C).
*2: Current termwrap looks don't implement yet.
*3: Current termwrap looks don't implement yet.
*4: Current termwrap looks implement partly? I think this needs
various people's help.
