In the rescue mode, I chose to execute the shell in d-i environment, not to mount any partition. Then, I manually mounted the /home partition in BusyBox shell. > In that case, please send: > - a text file containing missing characters (in UTF-8 encoding) that are > relevant for the installer > - an example file with a Thai text > - a screenshot of how that example file is supposed to look > > I'll then give it a try myself. Attached. I've classified the missing glyphs in di-missing.txt. - "In-use" means it's currently used in d-i translation; so it's required. - "Potential" means it's not found in d-i translation, but there is high potential to be used in other relevant packages (xorg, exim4, debconf, etc.) - "Rare" means it's rarely used, and can be safely omitted. For the missing Thai digits and punctuation marks, I'm quite sure they are not used in the translation. For the screenshot, I've chosen a bitmap font that is closest to the one used in the directfb d-i. It's an 8-bit TIS-620 font aliased "thai8x16" from xfonts-thai-manop package. And I took it on xiterm+thai (from xiterm+thai package) by converting it to TIS-620 for the display. >> > 2) Did you also try it in the very early stages of the installation? >> >> I don't know how I can do this. > > The same way you do it during later stages... > The important point here is the "load additional installer components" > step.

The system refuses to mount, complaining that no such device is found. Only after the "detect harddisks" step would it mount. But that requires loading additional component. So, I try another way: put the text file in USB flash drive. Boot into expert install mode. Skip directly to the "execute a shell" step without even choosing the language. Then, plug the flash drive in, and the kernel finds the flash drive and mounts it successfully. And it still works. Regards, -- Theppitak Karoonboonyanan http://linux.thai.net/~thep/
