Bug#604192: os-prober: Won't detect MacOS 9
I am not a developer myselve, but discussed the following issue with a developer who asked me to at least inform you about my thought. If I understood the patch, which is presented here, correctly, you search with the following lines: -if [ -e $dir/System Folder/System ]; then +if [ -e $mpoint/System Folder/System ]; then about a file called System inside the directory System Folder Well that will maybe only partially solve the problem, as this System Folder is called in every language differently. In german language it is called Systemordner and I expect it in every language to be differently. To understand that correctly, MacOS 9 has no possibility to easyly swith the OS languge. UTF was not implemented at OS-level. Every MacOS was delivered only (!) in one language. So you will not detect a System Folder at any german, french, spanish, japanese etc. system, ... Even the OS does not work if the System Folder is not present in the locale language. I sometimes had this problem when using english software which expects an english System Folder. I checked at my Debian installation right now, the System Folder is indeed called Systemordner in german language - even from within Debian. So maybe this patch only solves the os-prober questions for english language? Here is a list of every language of the different MacOS 9.2.2s http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75186 If I am right, and if noone has a better idea - what I do not expect ;) - I can offer to try to find the right names of the System Folders in every of the existing 16 languages, to simply reply that code above? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

thanks
os-prober wouldn't detect installed MacOS because it missed actual mount
point of the tested partition. Variable '$dir' was always empty.
