Hi to all, As some of you may already have known, some languages need extra packages which get retrieved during the languagechooser stage. For example: Turkish needs 'console-terminus', RTL languages (Arabic, etc.) need 'jfbterm', 'unifont' and 'libfribidi0', and Cyrillic languages need 'console-cyrillic'. However I've noticed that some d-i derived CD images do not include those packages (at least, this is the case for Turkish), hence CD-based installations (without a network connection) are badly affected for those languages. Concerning the console-terminus package of Turkish, I saw this problem in Ubuntu CDs (fixed in newer versions, thanks to Colin Watson) and in amd64 CD images (hence CCed to debian-amd64 m-l). I couldn't check SkoleLinux, but I think it may have the some problem. What I would like to know is that, could we find a better method to make sure that those packages are always included in CD images without the need of contacting the relevant persons? Regards, -- roktas
