Ah, I understand now. And your fix introduced a new bug, and a fix to that is in bug 4408, but I think you know that already. > it is installed by default when support for simplified Chinese is selected This is not happening in 9.2-RC2 > > On boot, the booting messages, verbose mode (starting services and such), > > had no Chinese character support, but had Chinese text, so it was all > > upper ASCII garbage. > > Mmh, chinese on console should be desactivated... I'll look at the > initscripts. This is still happening in 9.2-RC2 Also, When installing entirely in Chinese, my locale was all zh_CN When installing in English as the primary language, and with Chinese (Both traditional and simplified), as well as Japanese and Korean support, my locale was all en_US.UTF-8 After using localedrake to change my locale to simplified chinese (china), everything came out in zh_CN.UTF-8 chinput works, thanks to your (modified) fix. This is my locale after using localedrake (after I fixed DrakX). Does it seem reasonable? Will using UTF-8 cause any problems with other applications?

Can someone answer them for me? 1) How can I test these fixes on a clean installation? Installing directly from the cooker often doesn't work. 2) Will there be another 9.2 release candidate? It seems there is still a lot to do. I am afraid that if I am unable to test these problems, they will go out with 9.2 like they did with 9.1. Thanks. vic
