The space limitations are so great that one disk per language would be
better.

Are you isolating the strings into a table? You should do so, and make
that work with the current English strings first. Please send patches
to Dale.

I'd suggest you source the table into dinstall as an "ash" script, and
use named variables for each of the strings, for example:

	S_mbr_1="A master boot record is required to boot the system

	    ...

Watch out - I expand shell variables in a number of the strings and you
will need to break the strings up around those expansions.

	Thanks
