Currently there are several messages in rc.sysinit that are output translated (in russian) before russian font is loaded. I created conservative patch that omits translation of these messages - but, then, lookin in rc.sysinit I do not see any reason why we cannot load console fonts before everything else? Actually, we could even do it before prinitng a banner (Welcome to Mandrake etc) that is now output in ugly transliteration (russian in ASCII). Any reason not to do it? Should I supply a patch? -andrej
