    PM: žel nevím, jak se definují klávesnice pro konzoli

Definice dvou českých klávesnic je v `kbd' jako `cz*.map'.  Je tam
jedna ze "standardních" a jedna programátorská.  Podle těch vzorů se to
dá udělat.

    PM: a x window system

Xy jsou mimo řeč, česká klávesnice ve standardní verzi nakonfigurovat
nejde.  Kdybyste pro to chtěl něco udělat, asi by bylo nejlepší zahájit
veřejnou kampaň v cz.comp.linux za to, aby někdo konečně zařídil
odstranění této závady v upstream verzi XFree.

    PM: does anyone know what it takes to add a keyboard definition and
    PM: the corresponding locales support to debian? we would need to
    PM: include a couple of czech keyboard layouts (qwertz, qwerty, and
    PM: programmers') to debian 2.0.

Na to umím odpovědět sám :-) -- viz výše.  Co se týče českých locales,
ty by měly být na dobré cestě do upstream verze, takže by se měly
objevit v Debianu automaticky a není třeba se o to starat.

    PM: p.s. we would like to localize ldlinux.sys as well as the
    PM: installation program - what is the procedure for doing that?

Protože ještě stále nedorazil těch pět mailů, co jsem sem forwardoval
asi před týdnem, přikládám relevantní úryvek:

  Not yet. First we have to finish the non-internationalized version, as we
  are already out of schedule for Debian 2.0. Then internationalizing it
  will be very easy.

  There's a little problem I've been thinking about, but don't have an easy
  solution yet. The root disk is already stuffed almost to capacity, so we
  won't be able to put a few message catalogs for the different languages
  we will support.

  One solution is building a root floppy for each language, but that would
  be a waste of space in the CDs and mirror sites. 

  A better solution is making the installation system read the messages file 
  from the boot medium, be it the rescue floppy, CD, ... 
  As the rescue floppy uses a MS-DOS filesystem it will be easy for the users 
  to copy a different "messages" file over the default one. Also, the
  "messages" files for the different languages can be put in the boot/
  directory of the CDs without wasting too much space. The problem is
  defining a friendly interface for choosing the language at boot time.

  Well, comments and better ideas are always appreciated! :-)

          Thanks,
