Re: Bug#32230: boot-floppies: Driver Configuration /fs menu - nls-iso8859-2..9 lines are false
Your observation is correct.
The problem is in modconf (in the drivers disk: /usr/sbin/modconf).
Problems with modconf:
ERROR:
Will only present the first 12 characters in module name
which breaks for theese modules:
nls_iso8859_1
nls_iso8859_2
nls_iso8859_3
nls_iso8859_4
nls_iso8859_5
nls_iso8859_6
nls_iso8859_7
nls_iso8859_8
nls_iso8859_9
ip_masq_raudio
ip_masq_cuseeme
ip_masq_vdolive
They have 13 to 15 characters in their names.
The cause of the problem is that modconf calls whiptail and there do not
seem to be any way to set column widths.
So the suggested fixes would be:
1, replace whiptail, but then with what?
2, hack whiptail so you can handle longer keys
3, rename modules with names longer than 12 chars (not counting the '.o')
Cheers,
