Last week I spend on writing new generic i18n module for Dracut. The ready install script is posted to mailing list (at vger.kernel.org). Here's a quote of abstract of this message: Different distros have variables holding keyboard settings, fonts and so in different files and even under different names. Sometimes it's =E2=80=9CSYSFONT=E2=80=9D in /etc/sysconfig/i18n, sometimes it's = =E2=80=9Cconsolefont=E2=80=9D in /etc/conf.d/consolefont. I came up with idea to hold mappings in configuration file (dracut.conf or dracut.conf.d/=C2=ABdistro=C2=BB.con= f). The script gathers variables and prepares two =E2=80=9Cunified=E2=80=9D= files inside Dracut overlay. The rest of the script is quite the same as redhat-i18n but some tweaks. Dracut uses console_init written in C included in initscripts RPM, but I'm gonna rewrite it in bash and then i18n module will be fully generic. After i18n will be fully finished (soon :-)), I'll focus on network stuff.
