That's too late for 2.1.5R, but what we can do instead is something a little nicer - I'll work with you guys to do a follow-on CD to 2.1.5 (say sometime in August/September?) which uses your boot floppy and also has all the cover and backliner text in japanese. It'll be referred to internally as "FreeBSD-J", just as Slackware has its "Slackware-J" Does that sound reasonable? > There's one point I worry about.

Well, we'll have a GPL'd kernel in that case but I certainly intend to put all the sources on the CD anyway and that should satisfy the GPL. > We're planning to write original I18N console as the extention of > syscons, but it can't be done in a few days of course :-). Ultimately, that would be very nice, yes.. :-) Jordan
