Dear Friends,
Is there some reason other than my own stupidity that this charset is not available to me?
I am now using grml on my mission critical machines daily, and the only real drawbacks are:
1. not all auto-installers, such as hsfmodem drivers or ati installer work with grml, although they do with debian sid. Naturally, I have done the thing with the tip from the wiki, but we should be able to build kernels, modules, use off the 'net installers same as debian. Funny enough, when one uses, for example, the .deb from the linuxant site, rather than run the script, it installs perfectly, even writing correctly to the runlevel.conf file. So it may have to do with permissions somewhere, or something in the makefiles that is way beyond me. (Yes, I know grml is not for noobs like me, but it is still the easiest and best distro out there - which should alarm us more than it does, I suppose)
2. the kde desktop(which is a big step for me from ICEWM) does not handle all fonts and languages that I am used to in libranet /debian, where eveything seems just to work. SImply put, if if it is a font or charset, I need it, and it needs to work first time everytime. It took an hour to get ipa working in the two or three fonts it works in, and one still cannot copy tipa from the gucharmap or kcharselector into openoffice documents.
Can we, as a quick fix, therefore, find a way to make jp iso 2022(or for that matter, all available locales) available to the kde desktop easily? It is not even listed in "dpkg-reconfigure locales."
Also, one last request:
I keep a somewhat accurate collection of the mailing list, but gmane drops things very quickly from their server, so is there a way for us to access the entire set of posts ab initio?
Best, Martin
