installer for multi-language installations
Hi!
I am sorry for my ignorance about the functions of tasksel and I should have
read more before I speak. I found out that tasksel actually has the
localization and desktop environment tasks specific for each language
although these tasks do not show up because they are screened by the
test-lang function, which ONLY allow the task in the language of
installation to show up. The intention is good since it doesn't want to
confuse people with too many options. However this makes multi-lang
installations very difficult.
Therefore is it a good idea to change the installer sequence a bit:
- first run dpkg-reconfigure locales and let users to select locales to be
installed
- then change the test-lang program so that it allows ALL of the
localization / desktop tasks belonging to the locales chosen in
dpkg-reconfigure locales, rather than just the language used during
installation to shop up on tasksel screen
Also, ttf2pt1, ttf2pt1-chinese and ttfprint are needed for printing of asian
fonts as well, but they are not included in the Chinese tasks, therefore
would you please add them to the simplified as well as traditional Chinese
localization environment tasks?
Thanks
Tony
