I did as you have requested, but I'm just curious what the reason for such changes is. Correct me if I'm wrong, but AFAIK ability to change screenmap was introduced to support video hardware with some (Russian CP866 in this case) charset in chargen but w/o ability to load another symbol table (CGA, Hercules and so on). Nowadays such hardware is extremely rare to say the least, so it would be more logical to get rid of CP866 font in the sysinstall. Necessity to select both font and screenmap seriously increases possibility of error for novice users. -Maxim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-i18n" in the body of the message
