Jfbterm and unifont also cost some space... I'm not really familar with current DI status. Is debootstrap the only tool used to install packages at the first stage? Seems not - at least kernel package seems to be installed in another way. So maybe it is possible to install console-cyrillic at the first stage only in cases when it is needed? And install jfbterm in other cases ... I believe that tools that require framebuffer should be used only when really required. Linux framebuffer is not only slow, it does not always work. Recently we had some problems with a recent NVidia video card - linux text console worked, linux framebuffer console did not. Also experience shows that X is more stable when framebuffer console is disabled. > Could you test jfbterm whether fits Russian or not? > 1. apt-get install jfbterm unifont > 2.

I just tried to start mc under jfbterm.
