Package: countrychooser Version: 1.09 Severity: wishlist I did an installation test with the speakup floppies today. AFAICT these use the text frontend for debconf.
After selecting 'other' in the shortlist, there was this huge list of countrynames flying across (and off) the screen, all with a number before the name to be used for selection. Even with scrollback, I was unable to see the beginning of the list (Netherlands, being 88, was just visible :-) I think the template for the full countrylist should be split into 2 separate questions, at least for text frontend, but IMHO for all frontends. - one question for 'continent'; - one question for selection of an individual country on this continent. This should reduce the number of options per screen to manageable proportions. And as most installations don't use the full list (but have single country or select from shortlist), the extra question should not be a problem. The only challenge will be to set the default continent based on the default country. As setting the default in the full list does not work ATM anyway, this could be a good moment to fix that as well. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
