[yast-devel] sl 11.0: instsys & translations
Hi, for sl 11.0 we're splitting language dependent parts off the instsys and loading only the language we need. This way the instsys size reduces from about 70MB in sl 10.3 to currently about 55MB. And, to save space on the media, the common parts of the instsys and rescue system are moved into a separate image, too. So, why am I telling all this? Beacause, in short, it means the instsys consist now of several parts. And because I've just submitted a new installation-images package that activates all those changes. This means you find in the /boot/<arch>/ directory on the media a lot of files like 'root.de', 'root.cs' etc. The important bit is the new 'config' file there. It describes what image files linuxrc will load. If you are testing installations and want to replace/add just some files to the instsys, you can edit that config file and add another instsys part. This might sometimes be easier than the old way of unpacking/repacking the instsys. I'm aware that Lukas has not yet completed (at least I think he has not) support for this in yast. But linuxrc does support it. So everything should be ok as long as you select the language at the boot loader/in linuxrc.

Yes, I haven't added support for that functionality into the installation - changing the system/installation language in the "Welcome" screen will do nothing (wizard and dialogs will not get retranslated). On the other hand I might be able to do that by Monday evening so it could be hopefully in Alpha2. Lukas
