Well, I did not know where to put it, that's why :-) It was in login.sh before; then I needed exactly the same code in rc to make sure initscripts messages can be output in native language. I thought it is better to have the code in one place only in case it is modified later.

Each console is reset upon logout and before first login which means loaded charmap is lost. We have to do it somewhere on login. I briefly considered mingetty but it is too much work. > Possible solution ? > 1. Get rid of mandrake_consmap and put code inline in /etc/rc.d/rc and back into login.sh. Caveats - you have to remember to modify in both places if needed 2. Put it in some other place. Because we still have login.csh that cannot be combined (mandrake_consmap is not a script, it is sourced) may be 1 is the simplest solution currently. -andrej
