Yes, that's probably it. It would be nice if someone with the needed skills (read "not bubulle") would look into this and bring some input so that these templates are i18n'ed finally....and, as a result, all kernel-image templates as well, of course. Does someone in the -i18n crowd feel like looking at this and work with Manoj on a possible solution? Before etch would be good.... > > > (not speaking about the....ahem...wording of these templates) > > Bright, chatty , personal, freindly as opposed to dull, > distant, cold, robotic? Well, I know we do not agree on the topic...:-). This is indeed why I'd like to have the possibility to bring style consistency at least for the users of the French language (who, as everybody knows, are very unfriendly people with distant ways to address others)....and probably other languages. And anyway, besides our disagreement about style, Manoj, we should probably work on the *length* of the k-p templates. They're indeed a little bit too long to fit on a 80x25 screen, which is recommended when possible for debconf notes.
