Well, Alpha keyboards aren't really different from i386 keyboards anywhere. Is there a method to express that without exchanging "i386" with "i386 alpha" everywhere? Well, if I change it in english.src, I get: make[5]: Leaving directory `/data/home/falk/debian/boot-floppies/boot-floppies/utilities/dbootstrap/langs' cat po.utf rn.utf ../dbootstrap/langs/english.xml ../dbootstrap/langs/russian.xml ../dbootstrap/langs/polish.xml ../dbootstrap/langs/portuguese.xml ../dbootstrap/langs/french.xml ../dbootstrap/langs/czech.xml ../dbootstrap/langs/german.xml ../dbootstrap/langs/hungarian.xml ../dbootstrap/langs/turkish.xml ../dbootstrap/langs/japanese.xml ../dbootstrap/langs/swedish.xml ../dbootstrap/langs/chinese_t.xml ../dbootstrap/langs/chinese_s.xml ../dbootstrap/langs/danish.xml ../dbootstrap/langs/galician.xml ../dbootstrap/langs/korean.xml ../dbootstrap/langs/croatian.xml ../dbootstrap/langs/norwegian.xml > all.utf LC_CTYPE=en_IN.UTF-8 reduce-font /usr/src/unifont.bdf < all.utf > unifont-reduced.bdf Unable to set locale make[4]: *** [unifont-reduced.bdf] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/data/home/falk/debian/boot-floppies/boot-floppies/utilities/bogl' Hm, it seems one needs "en_IN UTF-8" or something in /etc/locale.gen... Can we avoid that? If not, we should give at least a proper error message.
