I've downloaded today's (20040209) sarge-i386-netinst.iso for sid and there is Exim4 4.30-4 -- almost all messages are translated to Czech. The only English screen is unfortunately the first one, where you choose type of configuration (there happened some rephrasing since my original translation) -- this should be fixed in version 4.30-5. (M. Bauer selected the default option which asks no further questions, so he concluded it's not translated at all.) > The accented charcater problem is more worrying.

I did some test with today's 20040209 netinst sid iso (Base Config 2.08) and indeed, accented characters are broken (see the second screenshot at http://www.debian.cz/~kurem/shots/) -- black boxes shouldn't be there, all characters whith following "`" above them are wrong (we use only "'" (and wedge and circlet) :-) [ ... common boot messages] termwrap: locale-gen: Generating locales... termwrap: locale-gen: cs_CZ.ISO-8859-2... done termwrap: locale-gen: Generation complete info: Switching console charset mapping to ISO-8859-2 /usr/bin/charset: line 117: /dev/tty: Such device or address doesn't exist [base-config starts ... ] I suppose previous line should be the problem. (The error message was localized (see the first picture), so my reverse translation may not be acurate). I skimmed through the base-config, logged in and tried to get it working. Standard locale was set to POSIX. I suppose we need to load correct (iso-8859-2) font: # echo "set SCREEN_FONT=iso02.f16" >> /etc/console-tools/config # echo "set APP_CHARSET_MAP=iso02" >> /etc/console-tools/config # /etc/init.d/console-screen.sh restart Next, we would like to be able to _type_ accented characters (we can switch to the Czech layout by the Pause key): # echo "set convert-meta off" >> /etc/inputrc log in on the next console, run # export LANG=cs_CZ" #obvious locale stuff # echo -ne "\033(K" #so we can see accented chars. (blanks otherwise) # base-config #our testing program and voila! (see the last picture). I'm not quite sure if all these steps are necessary - this is "proven" setup which inherits itself for generations. -- Miroslav Kure -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
