Although I've never tried, I would doubt very much that the existing installer will work properly with RTL text. Having support for this would be very cool and I would love to see it in the new debian-installer codebase, but I suspect there is little hope of making this happen in time for woody. The existing installer frontend is based on the newt library (which in turn is based on slang); the first step would be to check whether they support RTL properly. p. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
