Hi, I am working on Canadian English defaults system-wide for systems I put out and will be doing up packages for myspell dictionaries and such. I was wondering if I need to do something in d-i to get them picked up automatically, or if that is even possible. I know that the default is en-US for these packages; I was hoping that I could have things set so that if en_CA is picked during install that canadian english dictionaries are installed instead of american english ones (also for aspell, the default world lists and all that kind of stuff that is locale dependent).
I might be able to make time for this, but I'm in the process of learning preseeding and how to do post-install scripts that integrate with d-i for the etch media (will do lenny once that is working), so that I can put out -stable oem media in the event users of the used computers I put together (for free) need to reinstall. (I install more packages than the default, in fact there is something from every cd-rom in the latest install I've done (I want to make the user getting the system can reinstall even if high speed is not available in their area as that's common enough around here)). You may recall I also want to get amanda working as an available option for bare metal recovery using d-i, and to make partimage available under d-i (because d-i boot from so much) for windows and linux system imaging prior to working on a system (or restore if necessary too). That last bit may have to be a spinoff project though because of the fact that udebs affect d-i as a whole and can't just exist in the archive independently.
