Actually we have localization support tested and working, but have yet |
8 |
to use it in any of our front-ends. Please keep in mind the installer |
9 |
is still in early stages of development and since all our devs speak |
10 |
English there issues like localization kinda get put on the back burner |
11 |
until we iron out details like partitioning. |

Technically we could support reiserfs if we wanted to, though it causes |
19 |
some nice resize problems that agaffeny could better explain to you. |
20 |
While I enjoy reiserfs, it seems that I am in a minority on this project |
21 |
and most people consider it evil and don't want to support it. If you |
22 |
would be willing to help support reiserfs for us, that would be most |
23 |
appreciated by me. |
