3mx ultra>fr

[ben]

hi
I gave a try to 3mx ultra,and would like to install it for a friend on her lll,I think i(ll be able to get wifi to work,with what i read here,but have two questions:
-how to install french keymap?>done
-is it possible to get the os to french?she doesn't speak a word in english,so she'd be completely lost...
thx to anybody who will help

I stripped most if not all the 'locale' files out of Ultra to free up some space. Without them there really is no easy way to switch from WWE (world wide english) to french (or any other language).

Cheers.

and from your debian distrib,is there  way to get french locale and keyboard?

I have the same problem.
I have tried to change/add  some confiig file in init.d directory.
The only thing i finally got: i cannot open a terminal or even mc anymore.

I don't remember if i kept the locale files in debian etch or not to be honest. My hard drive that held all my recovery.img's crashed a few months back so i cant easily take a look. Hopefully somebody running my etch release will speak up.

Cheers.
