When the user selects only Korean language from installer and install only standard system the console can't display Korean messages at all. This is very serious problem for Korean users. The installer must provide console environment that display Korean properly if system locale is Korean and it's the only language set by the user. To fix the problem, user needs to add English locale as super user. $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales Add en_US.utf-8 Then change English as system locale or set export LANG=en_US.utf-8. The window messages are unreadable - full of tiny retangles. Without the knowlede or access to other system, users will unlikely give up or reinstall the system. It makes Debian as useless system. When I used to use IBM XT years ago, MS-DOS provides console that handles Korean using bitmap fonts. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (700, 'stable'), (650, 'testing'), (500, 'stable-updates') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
