It is in english, except after Choose Country or Region is a line of broken finnish. Menu lines 6 11 are also in finnish, but they are correctly written because they contain no a with umlaut characters. I tried with choosing swedish as language at the beginning. In this case the choosing country or region works, it asks me if I'm FI or SV. But the problem with a with umlaut characters replaced with spaces persists. When I get to Debian installer main menu screen, it has some lines in swedish. The a with umlauts are wiped out, but there are o with umlaut and a with ring. Strange, this is not a font or display only in ASCII problem, it is just the a with umlaut that will not display. I installed another machine yesterday also, booting from usb-memory (with grub, luckily found instructions on debian-boot@lists.d.o). There finnish worked correctly and all texts displayd as they should. The problem with choosing country being a no-op was there. -- Tapio Lehtonen Tapio.Lehtonen@IKI.FI GPG public key from http://www.iki.fi/Tapio.Lehtonen
