This was a major issue that had been open for a log time. The solution turned out to be simple (thanks to a priceless hint from Davide), but... > Note that this currently means that VT2 may get garbled input as that > is not set to UTF-8, so the new challenge is how to set that > dynamically when the user switches to VT2.

If anybody knows how to solve this new issue, I'd be much obliged. I have checked that only the shell on VT2 from init is affected and not shells that are started from within d-i (from the menu, rescue). What is basically needed is to echo -ne "\033%G" inside the shell _if_ UTF-8 is enabled for the installer. I've tried adding a /.profile, but that does not seem to work. > Modified: trunk/packages/kbd-chooser/debian/changelog > ============================================================================== > --- trunk/packages/kbd-chooser/debian/changelog (original) > +++ trunk/packages/kbd-chooser/debian/changelog Mon Aug 21 21:25:59 2006 > @@ -9,6 +9,8 @@ > > [ Frans Pop ] > * Add support for ppc64.
