I did what Joey Hess asked me to do. Downloaded sarge-i386-netinst.iso from October 15 and did a test installation. (Language Czech, Location Prague, keyboard layout US, everything else default). Unfortunately I have to report the bug #253198 is still alive and doing well ...
Czech locale is OK during both stages of installation. After the first reboot a message "info: Switching console charset mapping to ISO-8859-2" blinks and all questions of second stage installer are well readable in perfect Czech. Nevertheless when quiting aptitude (using CTRL-C, since I prefer dselect) system decides to cancel Czech locale. A message info: Switching console charset mapping to ISO-8859-1" appears followed by login prompt. From that moment Czech output is mangled. I install the package fonty (as usual) and it corrects the problem. I hope you find this report useful. Jan Kuznik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
