I'm game for anything, but at this point it will have to wait until after beta2, sorry. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

OK, I continue to think about better solution (Bug#224227 also), but don't touch CVS of debian-installer/base-config till beta2 will be released.

That's really bad news. This revert damages second stage for non-Latin users. How about 51framebuffer-module-linux-i386 checks LANG also? A. use fb for all except of some LANG B. use fb for some LANG I prefer A. Or more drastic, how about using bterm (or jfbterm) for all languages on second stage? -- Kenshi Muto [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#224226: reverted the framebuffer thing
I've had to reopen this bug report, because the framebuffer change caused problems, and had to be reverted. joeyh: something is adding vga16fb to etc/modules, and this change the console charset from ISO-8859-1 to something else. pere: someone (forget who) added that as part of trying to get japanese working on the second stage joeyh: hm, ok joeyh: do you remember where this is done? probably prebaseconfig - Add /usr/lib/prebaseconfig.d/51framebuffer-module-linux-i386 (Bug#224226). This will have to wait for a real fix until after beta 2 of the debian installer is released, I'm afraid. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature
