I have used an iso from the 14/08 and that works fine. May be a problem with your hardware or your hardware is not correctly detected. > > Another thing, I've translated all the files in the /locale dir using > Gedit and saved them using UTF-8 encoding.

The bootloader is running on a plain console and for historical reasons there are only american characters (aka ASCII :) available. Only the framebuffer can display utf-8 but is not started before the kernel boots. You may bug the GRUB people about this. The reason for not having a framebuffer from the start is robustness: the console always works. I wonder how MS is handling that. For your case that means to rewrite the bootloader help texts in ASCII. Marcus -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
