Now we have an additional variable: the -nosrc CD, which doesn't contain sources, but must contain the same /etc/issue file, because root.ext2 is the same. If we don't find a wording that covers all three cases, I will have to generate /etc/issue during boot. Anyway, the /lfs-sources symlink should be removed during boot if it is dangling, so a script (or part of initramfs /init) is needed anyway. >>> 3) Undocumented initramfs boot options.

Ability to set modes that the monitor prefers (e.g., native resolution on LCD monitors). According to forums, 915resolution is not too reliable (e.g., Xorg and the monitor disagree upon the synchronization frequencies). However, now I am not sure whether xf86-video-intel-2.0.0 is really better. Anyway, it supports more hardware (new: i965GM, found in laptops). >> 6) In Japanese locales, fontconfig chooses the wrong default font (AR PL New >> Sung, while it should use Kochi fonts) > > Is there any way to change this in fonts.conf?

Kochi fonts are known to fontconfig out of the box, but AR PL New Sung isn't. -- Alexander E.
