We have a project called Skolelinux in Norway, we will be making our own CD and floppy images so that Norwegian (nynorsk and bokm�l) and possibly Sami are the only available choices. Since our target is well defined, we can get rid of some questions (keyboard layout, timezone). Our dream is to have no more than three questions from bootup until working desktop :-) So far we've been concentrating on translating the desktop and surveying educational software, though. > If enough localisations of boot-floppies get up-to-date, we ought to > consider splitting up the international floppies into two with > different groups of locales built in. I think Achim Bohnet's idea of a small boot-cdrom is a good one, floppy drives are going away from consumer machines soon, anyway. If we can use a 2.88 MB root.bin, this problem goes away for most people. Kjetil T. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
