---------------------------------------------------- A Guide to Multilingual FreeBSD Install Floppy ---------------------------------------------------- We have extended Japanese FreeBSD install floppy to support the other languages. This floppy originally has been developed with the release of FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE. The current version of this floppy supports 2.2-RELEASE and the codes for multilingualization of it are refined. Now this floppy can be easily integrated with the English version. This FreeBSD install floppy consists of the sysinstall utility (an installer for FreeBSD) by Tatsumi Hosokawa who has made it internalize the kon utility. The kon is a utility to display Kanji characters on PC console, and it has been ported from Linux to NetBSD and then to FreeBSD. Also the kon utility included by this floppy has been improved by Ikuo Nakagawa . We have developed the user interface with the improved version of libncurses library. This library is based on the one which has been modified from the original libncurses to support multi-byte characters for the installer of FreeBSD(98) (FreeBSD for Japanese PC-98 series) by Nobuyuki Koganemaru . Tatsumi Hosokawa has modified the libdialog library for dialog interface.
