I'd rather say that using an install in English for later use a Chinese system is very likely to require manual intervention such as the one you describe. This is mor eor less expected behaviour. > framebuffer-enabled terminal (like jfbterm used in 1st stage) for > Chinese install.

If it does not run fine, this is a bug. However, the end system will display garbage *later*, if localized in CJK languages (or Arabic, Hebrew...) because jfbterm cannot be run as a login program. There's a discussion about this in localechooser bug log and no real possible solution. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
