Hi,
I tried serial console installation for i386, but this looks support
only in English.
languagechooser shows many languages, but for example, when I choice
Japanese, it goes hang up and local characters are hidden (even if I
use UTF-8 serial terminal).
I found a problem in rootskel.
- install in UTF-8 needs setting LANG.
- S40term-linux checks TERM, and set LANG=C.UTF-8 only if TERM=linux.
- When I use serial, no LANG is specified.
- installer works non UTF-8 mode, but messages are still in UTF-8...Many
strange things occur.
Here is a quick patch. I think this breaks nothing.
