Hi,

I discover muLinux few month ago. I am very interested by this "distrib"
to implement a mini-firewall based upon Linux, and muLinux seems to be
THE support for this action.
BUT, yes there is a but...
Can I suggest some ideas to internatonalize muLinux. Perhaps my poor
english tel you that there is not my langage, I'm french.
I suggest a modfication of the "setup" (in /bin) where in the "prompt"
function le line :
read answer
is encapsulated by

while [ 1 ] ; do
read answer
if [ $answer = "?" ]
then
    muhelp $var
else
    exit
fi
done

The function "muhelp" I propose is derived from the "make
menuconfig" (where asking for help).

Also, I suggest to store in one file all the messages issued by mu
(during setup or other). Each message may be like this :
001:Done
002:Abort
and so on...
A derived function from muhelp must be call like
sendmsg "001"
for an error message :
sendmsgerr "001"
These two functions may be colored (the first in green, the second in
red).

Regards

NOTE : thank you for muLinux, it's positiv !!!
