Here are a few suggestions about dbootstrap
Greetings!
1)
It would be useful to add a simple statement about "Alternative" choice to
the message that appears when there is no swap device - note that this may
be the _first_ place where you (have to) make a decision.
"Select \"Alternative\" you do not want to make a swap partition"
should be added to the following text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"There are no \"Linux swap\" partitions present on the system. A swap "
"partition is necessary to provide virtual memory for Linux. Please select "
"\"Next\" from the menu to partition your hard disk. Use the partitioning "
"program to add \"Linux native\" and \"Linux swap\" partitions to your
disks."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Something like this is actually already done here:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"There are \"Linux native\" partitions present on your system but none are "
"mounted. You must mount a root filesystem, and you may mount other "
"filesystems, before installing the system. If you have just created the "
"partitions, you must initialize them before you can mount them. Please "
"select \"Next\" to initialize and mount a Linux partition, or \"Alternate\"
"to mount a previously-initialized partition."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2)
some messages in partition_config.c are not _() - ized:
mount_points[i].tag = "Other";
mount_points[i].string = "Enter name of other mount point.";
mp = (p->in_use) ? "swap" : " -- Not in use --";
mp = " -- Not available --";
mp = (p->mount_point) ? p->mount_point : " -- Not mounted --";
3)
The following text is not used in f6.txt, while it is in f7, where it
doesn't make any sense.
I suggest moving it from f5.txt to f4.txt and removing it from f7.txt
"If you use hex numbers you have to use the 0x prefix (e.g., 0x300)."
regards
Marcin
