While admitting floppies are almost entirely worthless, I have 50
servers without CDs but with floppies all running Debian, I'd hate to
have to rebuild them all.

I will. As soon as I have some more time to concentrate on this again. We had

Well, that's pretty much what we try to do in d-i currently.

Most computers today are buyable naked or with non-free operating system.
I
lated is the acceptance of
UTF-8 for the translation of the Debian pages. A while back I translated a
lot of Debian pages, which were rejected because I had corrupted all the
other languages in the same file. Why? Becuause I had saved the files in
UTF-8, and this corrupted the other content. But

Before I can continue the discussion:
I am not receiving any posts to the mailing lists, eventhough I am
subscribed. I can only read messages that are sent to my email directly.
Is there any web-interface, where I can look into my subscription status? i
subscribed using the we ML list.
Thank

Hi,
a while back I had asked question regarding Bidi and RTL support for the boot
procedur ein Debian.
Has anything changed with the new release of Debian (and maybe slang?!?!)?
Bidi and RTL support may still need to be implemented but is UTF-8 now fully
supported?
Thanks for any help and
