Subject: [PATCH][DOC] Console is utf-8 by default
Date: Thu, 3 Jan 2008 16:17:54 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080103161754.GD4305@implementation.uk.xensource.com> (raw)

The console is now by default in UTF-8 mode.
Also fix the needed "vt." prefix.

Signed-off-by: Samuel Thibault <samuel.thibault@ens-lyon.org>

This documentation fix really deserves going into 2.6.24, else we'll
probably get a lot of bug reports like
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9319
(not that we won't have any...). Maybe that should even be announced in
a more highlighted place?
