[mdk-re] mandrake-russian without... Russian

[Aleksey Novodvorsky]

Hi!

Ya otvechaju translitom, tak kak jazyk etogo spiske rassyli --
russkij. 
Dlja raboty v russkoj srede nuzhno vybrat' russikij yazyk pri
ustanovke. Togda u vas ne vozniknet problem.
Potom, pri zhelanii, mozhno otmenit' russkie soobshenija, ob etom
napisano v FAQ na http://www.altlinux.ru

Klaviatura ru_cplk est' v dvuh variantah: KOI8-R i CP1251 (v
otlichie ot X-klaviatury, konsol'naya zavisit ot kodirovki),
sootvetstvenno v /etc/sysconfig/keyboard nyzhno napisat'
ru_cplk-KOI8-R ili ru_cplk-CP1251. Odnako, bez russkih ustanovok
konsol'nyh shriftov eto bessmyslenno.
 
Ja sovetuju Vam povtorit' ustanovku, vybrav russkij _yazyk_.
