How to set a different charset in initrd.gz?
I need to start with puppy linux utf-8 characters for Spanish users.
Hello, Walter.
I think that no utf8 character set, in any language, is available at the start of the Puppy CD.
The best you can do at that point is to specify, at the command line:
(Aside from what you wish to insert with pfix=ram, etc.
There is a list of available languages if you press F2.)
After the Puppy boot-up process, once you get into X, then you can choose various more "refined" character sets, for many languages, and also ask for the "utf8" addition.
I hope this helps.
Sincerely,

Take any recent official puppy (wary, racy, slacko, precise)
install vicmz`s langpack_es 20120905.pet
save, reboot and
charset is utf-8
language is spanish
The trick was loading a consolefont. that can display some (not all, of course) utf8.
Or did you mean something more special?

Hello,
If this could help, looking in the file: /etc/profile (racy 5.3) at lines 97-102:
Comment, uncomment...

#110409 change .utf8 to .UTF-8 ...
#LANG=en_US.UTF-8
