There is work in progress to internationalize the boot-floppies.
Nicolas Lichtmaier begun with the project, and I am working on it too.
Nicolas and Bruce suggested that the shell scripts should be
internationalized by putting all messages in variables, and defining
those in separated scripts, one per language. There are other
places where a different solution must be taken (the f?.txt messages
and the busybox messages).
It would be nice if people interested in i18n discuss this issue to
define how may be implemented.
