Speaking of which, there is a line in the package, which offers the enter the name for the new normal user, which is "Debian User" by default. I've had a temptation to translate it, but I also know this would get into the /etc/passwd file, which is not yet UTF-8 ready, as far as I can tell. At the same time, I could insert a remark about not using cyrillic in user name to the introduction text, but that's somehow uncool ;) Is there any clear policy, whether UTF-8 is allowed/usable in /etc/passwd? -- Nikolai Prokoschenko [EMAIL PROTECTED] / Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
