My newer 6x86 that was damaged late last June has been restored to a P200 with 64MB and still has its 10GB of disk. Besides the damage that a power-surge (??) did to the 6x86 motherboard, somehow the disklabel on my second SCSI drive was trashed. This caused the kernel to page fault. It was this co-incidence of hardware and software problems that took so long to resolve. As soon as I can find somebody to move the box home and plug things back together, I'll be ready to resume the internationalization of the FreeBSD utility set. I'm planning to mirror the ordering that I've done in porting the 4.4 utilities to the Tera machine. I will post my list for the primary and secondary utilities to the -ports and|or -hackers lists and seek any and all input. Within a few weeks I would like to have a more-or-less complete list of all the utilities that need to be internationalized. Somewhere in my ~/Mail/* files are the names and addresses of the people who helped in my proof-of-concept phase. Because it probably isn't fair to rely on just a few volunteers to translate the English string to French and German, I would like to hear from as many French- and German-speakers as care to volunteer. Several other issues remain, including code reviews, but the most important thing is to see if people are still with me! gary -- Gary D.
