Package: debian-installer Severity: normal Just tried the Sparc64 RC2 netboot debian-installer on an Ultra 5.
It puts the console in unicode mode, despite the fact that the sparc console doesn't appear to do unicode. This leads to a messed up display, with characters out of place (usually, text is displaced a character to the left, and the right hand edge of list-boxes appears ragged rather than straight). It's usable, but doesn't exactly look professional. Playing around with debconf/framebuffer=false or adding LANG or LOCALE=C to the boot arguments didn't appear to make any difference unfortunately. cheers, Phil -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.9-1-k7 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
