Log:
Updated README from the utf8 branch.
Built Xorg with gcc4
Disabled installation of Type1 fonts because Courier has only partial
coverage of Greek. In VTE-based terminals, this led to some greek letters
being picked up from Courier, and some from FreeMono. Very ugly.

CUSTOMIZING THE CD CONTENTS

Configure a known static IP address there, as described in the LFS book,
section "7.12. Configuring the network Script".
+INTERNATIONALIZATION
+================
+It is possible to specify the locale using the bootloader prompt, like this:
+
+ linux [EMAIL PROTECTED]
+
+The CD tries to guess the proper screen font and keymap based on this
+information. If the guess is wrong, you can override it by adding the
+following parameters:
+
+ KEYMAP: specifies the console keymap(s) to load (actually the arguments to
+ the "loadkeys" program separated by the "+" sign), e.g: KEYMAP=es+euro1
+
+ LEGACY_CHARSET: sometimes a ready-made UTF-8 keymap is not available and
+ must be obtained by converting an existing keymap from this charset to UTF-8.
+ E.g.: LEGACY_CHARSET=iso-8859-15
+ This parameter is not used in non-UTF-8 locales.
+
+ FONT: specifies the screen font to set (actually, the arguments to the
+ "setfont" program separated by the "+" sign), e.g:
+ FONT=LatArCyrHeb-16+-m+8859-15
+
+ XKEYMAP: the keymap to use with X window system, e.g. XKEYMAP=us_intl
+
+Alternatively, these items can be configured interactively using dialog-based
+interface if the locale is not specified on the boot prompt.
+
+The list of locales supported by glibc on this CD can be found in the
+/usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED file. It consists of lines that have the form:
+LOCALE/CHARSET \
+
+E.g. there is a line: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ISO-8859-15 \", which means that
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
+is a valid value for the LANG environment variable, and that the charset
+for this locale is ISO-8859-15.
+
+For a locale to work in X window system, it also has to be supported by Xlib.
+A list of all locale names supported by Xlib can be found in the left
+column of the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias file.
+
+FIXME: the description above is not 100% correct, since the de_DE.UTF-8
+locale works in X.
+
+For some locales (e.g. lv_LV.ISO-8859-13) there is no valid console keymap,
+but there is a keymap for X. In this case, the only solution is to use X.
+Languages that need special input method software (e.g. Chinese, Japanese
+and Korean) are not supported yet.
+
+While this CD configures the LANG environment variable, console font and
+keymap for you, it's your responsibility to configure other locale-dependent
+parameters manually. You may want to configure character sets for SAMBA in
+/etc/samba/smb.conf, and to explicitly specify the "iocharset" and "codepage"
+options when mounting filesystems with Windows origin (e.g., vfat and isofs).
+
+The CD contains TrueType fonts that cover the orthography of most of European
+languages. No additional configuration is required in order to use them.
