I found the debian-installer project, and I'm in the CVSWeb interface, but I can't seem to figure out which files you want me to edit. What's the CVS module name to check out? It looks like it might be 'd-i', which would give me the entire project tree...bit of overkill just to get the docs but I don't really mind, I have plenty of HD space. :) > Templates files are located for each package, in the debian > directory.

Will the "templates-in" file be in the same directory as the [package.]templates file (if it exists)? So basically, I edit templates-in if it's there, otherwise package.templates or templates? > There are a lot of packages in d-i, so a good order has to be > chosen.

Just to be clear, this is the document you're referring to: http://cvs.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/debian-installer/doc/translations.txt?rev=1.14&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=d-i Based on this file, my selection of "first file to examine" is: http://cvs.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/debian-installer/tools/languagechooser/debian/templates-in?rev=1.9&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=d-i There's only really one sentence in there to examine, and I don't see any way to improve that one, but the point is I want to double-check the logic of navigating the CVS tree to the right files. > Again, if you need more information on how to get the files, feel free > to ask.
