Description Ingo -LaSombra- Hoffmann 2003-03-14 07:56:00 UTC

I think this tips will help a lot the people that live outside USA and have some
special needs like me.

1. Change the default font to iso01.16 so we (iso8859-1 ppl :) can see special
characters like accented ones;
2. Add keymaps because the default ones (on the choice menu) aren't so good, for
example, the Brazilian style keyboards (abnt2 and us) are different from the distro;
3. This is doesn't have anything to do with locale :) It's to change the
metalog.conf to log to a console screen, like tty10, this is very important to
see some hardware errors.

Well, that's my 2 cents :)

Reproducible: Always
