Description James Manning 2002-06-19 17:09:01 UTC
In the Language Support screen, the help says that non-default languages can be
used after install, but gives absolutely no information about actually switching
languages.  While explaining the entire process (if it's long and drawn-out) may
not be ideal for the online help, there should at *least* be a reference (imho)
to a manual section or web page or something so that if I install English as
default but want to switch to German afterwards (sometime post-install), I'm not
totally lost as to how to go about doing that

Comment 1 Sandra Moore 2002-07-12 14:33:14 UTC
This will be explained in the main Red Hat Linux documentation set for
post-installation configuration. The help text isn't meant to cover post-install
information. 

Thanks for the feedback!

Comment 2 James Manning 2002-07-12 14:43:02 UTC
Ok - could the help text include a simple reference to say that it gets covered
in the post-install config in the RHL doc set?  the help text itself definitely
isn't the right place for this, but references noting that the procedures are
covered and a general area of where to look could be nice.  Your call, of
course, just that the docs get underused as it is, and IMHO the more the help
text can pimp all the great info in the docs, the more we may get ppl to
actually RTFM more :)

Comment 3 Sandra Moore 2002-07-12 14:58:12 UTC
The welcome screen of the help text refers people to the docs, as well as the
last, complete, screen. This will be mentioned in the IG, which is specifically
referenced as a must read while/before installing, as well as in the other
manuals. I really feel that this is covered okay as is with the changes we've
made within the main documentation set as well.

Thanks again,
Sandra
