(Ok, known problem) Skipping setting up a local user account (as to configure it by hand to share the settings with the other machines on the network) wasn't intuitive. Just entering blanks on the questions gave me an error, and I had to select Cancel, which gave me the top-level menu. In tasksel (with sv_SE locale), pressing F, which was highlighted for Funktionsinfo, i.e info about the task selected, exited tasksel without saving. In tasksel, it's slightly confusing to have two active areas, both the task and a button. Even though I did the install using a sv_SE locale, the installed setup (only selected packages with tasksel this time, to see what it selected for me) only contained en-US/en-GB dictionaries. I would have expected it to include Swedish dictionaries as well, plus things like the Swedish version of OpenOffice instead of the English one. Was unable to get X running with my ATI card, even though I selected autodetect in the X configuration and received no errors. I have a ATI Radeon 9600. -- \\// Peter - http://www.softwolves.pp.se/ I do not read or respond to mail with HTML attachments. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Running translated install system from harddisk?

Re: Running translated install system from harddisk?
Eduard Bloch: http://people.debian.org/~blade/boot-floppies/cvs/ Thanks for the tip. However, it seems that my target machine refuses to boot from cd (weird, but not Debian's fault). However... Running the ftp site stuff with the cd in the drives gives me Swedish as an option, but it gives me a lot of blanks in the menus, which makes it impossible to use. BTW, is it normal for LOADLIN to fail when using 4DOS as the command interpreter? I get ran out of input data when I do, but it boots when I run the regular Windows 98 COMMAND.COM?

Re: Running translated install system from harddisk?
Eduard Bloch: Weird. Does it happen with normal Debian CDs or is it my fault? I do not have any normal cds to test with, unfortunately. Loadlin has general problems with newer kernels, and is no longer maintained. Too bad. But it might be worth mentioning in the documentation that it may cause problems, it took me quite a while to figure out that it was 4DOS that interfered.

Re: Running translated install system from harddisk?

No. As for the menu, you're saying that each individual line was either present or missing, right? Yes. Can you give a couple of specific examples of lines that were blank? On the first screen after the language selection, I see: Configure keyboard, blank, Configure keyboard, blank × 3, Activate swap, blank × 5, Config drivers, Config PCMCIA, blank, Configure hostname, Configure network, blank × 9.

Re: Running translated install system from harddisk?
Philip Blundell, 2002-07-10: It shouldn't make any real difference where you run from. However, it seems to be different which version I run, the standard version doesn't have the language selections, the others do. But Swedish isn't activated for any of them. Neither finds my ATA-100 card, though, so I can't install anyway at the moment (should probably be an easy fix, though, with proper command line parameters to the kernel). You might need to have an XLP CD-ROM in the drive to get the full complement of translations, and you need to be using an fbcon-enabled kernel flavour. I downloaded the disks-i386 part of the ftp site and copied it to the hard disk. I notice that there is a tar file which shas all the language files in it, can I use that to let the install system find my Swedish files?

Re: Running translated install system from harddisk?
Chris Tillman: Which flavor are you using? I don't know, that might make a difference. Hmm, yeah, I do get language selections for some of the variants, just not for the main one (which of course was the one I tried first). I first attempted to use the 2,88M images, hoping they would contain all the languages, but I couldn't get install.bat to work for those properly. And are you using the install.bat file? Yes.

Is it just me, or is it impossible to activate the translation when running an install directly from the harddisk?

Re: sv.po

Re: Syslinux charset/font
Petter Reinholdtsen: I assume you want to use ISO-8859-1. So do we in the Skolelinux project. Please let me know if you find out how to do this. The problem is that these texts are displayed by the bootloader, and I doubt that it can be written to have enough intelligence to load another screen font. So I think you might be stuck with codepage 437 :-/ That reminds me, I haven't tested what the Swedish texts look like (but they should work when converted to 437, since Swedish is covered there). If you can't get iso-8859-1 on there, perhaps as a last resort you should consider using Swedish Ö/ö instead of the Norwegian/Danish Ø/ø? Or would that make it very unreadable? -- \\// peter - http://www.softwolves.pp.se/ Statement concerning unsolicited e-mail according to Swedish law: http://www.softwolves.pp.se/peter/reklampost.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Translation statistics
Claus Hindsgaul: Yes, you are right. I do not know how tight we need to prioritize. I vote for Swedish too. They both have dbootstrap and the boot disk text files translated, and quite well updated (se below). If someone could tell me, say, one or two days before the releases of the package, I could keep them up-to-date at all times. Now I generally hear about new releases too late... Speaking of including the Swedish translation or not; I might have missed parts of this, but is it only on the floppy based installation that the language list will be truncated? On the cd based installation, there will not be a limitiation, right? The figure is even worse for the install manual. *No* languages but fr, de and da have touched welcome.sgml since February! Regarding Swedish; there is no Swedish translation of the install manual. I have selected not to do that (translating www.debian.org, boot-floppies and dpkg is enough for one person). Besides, if that one is available in Danish, translating it into Swedish wouldn't add that much. -- \\// peter - http://www.softwolves.pp.se/ Statement concerning unsolicited e-mail according to Swedish law: http://www.softwolves.pp.se/peter/reklampost.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#99185: Problem installing Potato on an Amiga 1200
Anyhow, even if you don't want to actually re-install or whatever, you can at least boot with the 3.0.x install system and get far enough (without initializing or anything) just to check to see if it can find your partitions. Should be non-destructive. I can't get it to work. My severely limited AmigaOS skills won't get me to get the StartInstall script startable (I thought protect StartInstall rwe would do the trick), but anyway, if I run the command listed in the file (the amiboot-5.6 thing), I get error messages: kan ej finna objektet (that's: cannot find object) CD failed: returncode 20 I downloaded the amigainstall.tar.gz file and untarred it on a directory on my WB disk. Do I need to do more? My old install guide for potato only lists that file and base2_2.tgz, but that one is obviously not needed for woody. -- \\// peter - http://www.softwolves.pp.se/ Statement concerning unsolicited e-mail according to Swedish law: http://www.softwolves.pp.se/peter/reklampost.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Bug#99185: Problem installing Potato on an Amiga 1200
Me, on 2001-06-04: Well, as I said, the installer doesn't find the partition, so it can't initialize it. Can you initialize it by hand? I can run mke2fs and mount it on /target manually from VC2, and this is accepted by the installer, even though it believes I do not have any partitions... Now to get it to find my network card, 2.2.19 gave an error with that, I have to try the newer version. I tried the other package as given, and it did find the network card and continued the installation, neither of the versions did, however, recognize my partitions, so I had to mount the manually before I could do the installation. The thing is currently installting the tasks I selected in tasksel, so it seems to work. -- \\// peter - http://www.softwolves.pp.se/ Statement concerning unsolicited e-mail according to Swedish law: http://www.softwolves.pp.se/peter/reklampost.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Problem installing Potato on an Amiga 1200
This is regarding version 2.2.19 of the boot-floppies for Amiga: I am unable to install potato (and because of the problems with the m68k builds at the moment, I don't dare trying install testing or unstable) on my Amiga 1200. I boot into the installation program, and then ran the amiga-fdisk partitioner to create two partitions (hda2 for the filesystem, hda3 for the swap, removing my old unused AmigaOS partitions), but the installation program refuses to notice these new partitions. The partitioning *is* done, since the AmigaOS partition icons disappear when rebooting into AmigaOS, and the kernel boot log shows that I have three partitions on hda when rerunning the installer. I also am able to manually mount my AmigaOS paritition, so the hard disk responds correctly. Is there any known problems with the 2.2.19 version? Has anyone performed an initial installation on an Amiga 1200 with it? I have a 68040/40 with 32 Mbyte fast RAM, and a 1.2 Gbyte IDE disk. -- \\// peter - http://www.softwolves.pp.se/ Statement concerning unsolicited e-mail according to Swedish law: http://www.softwolves.pp.se/peter/reklampost.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

When it comes to the language settings (LANG, LC_MESSAGES), most languaegs don't need a qualifier at all, since there's only one variant.
