Well, the problem with the sharp s is that when I last time (2.0 RC-2)
started an installation using sysinst (selecting the German language) I
observed that it could not be represented, it showed up an ? or something.

I think that's because the locales (de_DE* or so) were not set.

Well, there are two solutions to this:
1) To do that the locales (or what the prob is) get set.
2) Using "ss" instead of sharp s.

Yes, I saw that now. Sorry ;).

It has been corrected in the new diff.

I replaced the "-disk" and "Disk" by "-festplatte" and "Festplatte",
where it was possible.

Hmm, yep it seemed for some reason nicer to me the second one
(subjective decision). Sorry.

Yes, totally beyond any logical thinking. Sorry, again.

Yes, I seem to have to provide even a third version.

But, before I do that: is someone else seing something that could be better
or that's really wrong?

And what's about the sharp s?
