This part isn't done yet since the menu actions for language setup are just "set variable" commands now but will no doubt morph into individual function calls which do all the right things for that particular language very soon. Part of my problem is determining just what all the "right things" will be. I can load the appropriate screenmap and font (and possibly keymap) values into syscons for Russian and the Western European languages (I'll "file2c" them into sysinstall itself and do the ioctls directly) but I still don't know how to make the dialogs themselvse look good in these cases. Seems like all the other fonts don't necessarily do line-drawing the same way.. :-( Maybe I should switch in and out for just displaying help files? I can do this too. Jordan
