This happens because the loaded Russian keyboard layout (located in file /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/ru.kmap.gz on the initrd image) uses KOI8-R encoding. And I have chosen the ru_RU.UTF-8 locale when installer prompted. Obvious solution is to replace current keymap with UTF-8 one like it is done for Ukrainian language. But that way another problem arise: what to do with other locales (ru_RU.KOI8-R, ru_RU.CP-1251 and ru_RU) because they won't have usable russian layout. Does anybody know why all other Russian keymaps (for various encodings) from console-data package are symlinks to the ru.kmap.gz on the installer initrd image? -- Max -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
