If you select English mode, it performs just as the original boot.flp. o No special hardware is required to display Japanese text. o Ready to incorporate other languages (ex. Chinese, Korean, and other Asian and European languages), if there are tranlation volunteers :-). All messages of sysinstall are added tags, and externalized into the "messages.lang" files. Contact me if you're interested in this translation project. o Select languages from the first menu of sysinstall. o Only one 2HD floppy! (boot.flp has spare space to incorporate another language, but bootpao.flp has no spare space.. sorry) o /usr/sbin/tzsetup is incorporated into sysinstall, and is localized by shareing the multilingual support. o bootpao.flp have PAO patch (about 550KB) inside the floppy and it can compile and install PC-card kernel from sysinstall configuration menu. -- HOSOKAWA, Tatsumi E-mail: hosokawa@mt.cs.keio.ac.jp WWW homepage: http://www.mt.cs.keio.ac.jp/person/hosokawa.html Department of Computer Science, Keio University, Yokohama, Japan
