AFAIK, console-cyrillic is just a set of cyrillic fonts, keymaps and a script to tie them up. One thing to mention is that keymap is generated dynamically by the script from a base keymap and a chosen method of layout switching. That's all. I've always wondered about why not to include all these fonts into console-data or kbd package (not sure what is currently used in Etch)? The same can be done with keymaps. The feature for choosing a method for the layout switching is very useful though, IMHO. So, may be it is reasonable to support such a feature on the D-I level for all languages which have non-latin keyboard layout without a dedicated key for layout switching? That way we can get rid of console-cyrillic and make the keyboard layout managment more generic and language independent. -- Max -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
