Bug#138679: boot-floppies: messages too long

[David Kimdon <dwhedon@debian.org>]

Package: boot-floppies
Version: N/A; reported 2002-03-16
Severity: minor

This message:
#: bootconfig.c:2498
msgid "Install LILO in the MBR (use this if unsure)."
msgstr ""
"Installer LILO dans le secteur d'amorçage principal (MBR) (utiliser ceci en "
"cas de doute)"

In fr mode is too long.  It scrolls off the screen, looks like this:

nstaller LILO dans le secteur d'amorçage principal (MBR) (utiliser ceci en cas de d

This could be fixed 2 ways:

1. make the phrase shorter since there is enough information in the top
of the box, there is much repitition on the screen (automatically
detecting similarily truncated phrases sounds hard.)

2. teach newt how to break lines properly.

Suggestions?

-David
