Re: HOWTO create a localized live CD

I didn't notice your reply/HOWTO until yesterday though. The HOWTO was very explaining and I've successfully created the iso but it still got some issues; * I've translated the f1.txt and so on files, but the Norwegian characters doesn't show correctly when you boot. Is it even possible to make them show correctly? * The autorun feature didn't work on with windows. Do you have any clue if this is my fault or? The autorun.ini file etc was in place. * I created the iso using ./the-make-script nb nb-NO iirc. And choose nb-NO in the locale dialog accordingly afterwards. When I opened firefox it obviously tried to open a localised version of the start page but nb-NO isn't supported (probably only "no" or "nb" is). Do you have any idea if this is a key that resides somewhere I can change it before making the iso? It looks slightly unprofessional that the start page has an error message. * Is it fairly trivial to put my own things in /Desktop so that if we translated luis' documents we could put them there? Btw, has there been any progress in the "Start here" document for the live CDs" that you know of? I would love to help out although for the time being I don't know how to use docbook. Hope this isn't too much of a hassle for you! Cheers, Terance [1] http://mail.gnome.org/archives/marketing-list/2005-May/msg00192.html -- m

Norwegian LiveCD
Luis said (http://tieguy.org/blog/index.cgi/366)to drop by the marketing list if you wanted a liveCD in your language. I would be interested in making a Norwegian one. What does it take to do so? Which tools do I need to be familiar with etc. ? Cheers -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
