PaiPix feedback on knoppix-autoconfig
Dear colleagues,
While working on PaiPix, a knoppix remaster for scientific usage, we
developed several patches that might be useful for others. We have also
extended locale support to include Portuguese.
In the knoppix /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig file we have:
1 - Included Portuguese support by adding something like:
pt)
# Portuguese version
COUNTRY="pt"
LANG="pt_PT@euro"
KEYTABLE="pt-latin1"
XKEYBOARD="pt"
KDEKEYBOARD="pt"
KDEKEYBOARDS="pt,us"
XMODIFIERS=""
TZ="Europe/Lisbon"
;;
2 - Added the Portuguese translation of the warning:
pt)
LOWMEM="A memória livre do seu computador é de apenas ${FREEMEM}kB de
RAM. Is to é normalmente suficiente para o funcionamento do Linux mas
infelizmente não chega para arrancar o KDE ou office. Para obter mais
memória disponível pode seguidamente criar um swapfile numa partição de
DOS (se existir). "
This patch is in attachment. All patches are available from one single
Debian package:
http://aamorimsrv.fis.fc.ul.pt/mirrors/paipix/PAIPIX/i386/paipix-patches_3.7-7_all.deb

All the best,
Antonio Amorim
