Hi there, As some of you might already now, localization-config is not run in etch's d-i and, actually, it will NOT be available in etch so users cannot run it by hand after an upgrade (See #402566) I was wondering if we should document this fact on the Release Notes, as some users might have come to expect some of the thinks localization-config. Based on the sources this is what it did for sarge users: - installing -l10n packages based on the system's defined locale (including fonts) - preseed the user's dictionaries based on the configured locale (through dictionaries-common) - presetting the user's keymap in X (now users have to answer the questions, when X gets installed) - configuring the default Desktop environment based on system's locale (GDM's /etc/default/gdm, KDM's kdmrc, KDE's system.kdeglobals) - configuring some browsers with the system's default locale (lynx, links, and mozilla) - it seems mozilla is not an issue here since iceweasel will uses the LANG environment to set its locale How much of this is now done automatically (because of changes in the packages or in d-i) and how much needs to be done manually by users? Any information here would be appreciated, Thanks Javier
