Topic: trouble with cirillyc fonts in text mode with last driverack

sorry for my english. I`m use last driverpack with Windows XP SP2 Rus.
I was integrated driverpack in Windows and make CD.
In first stage textmode setup (before selecting drive to installation XP) I see not cirillyc symbol - only uncknown symbols (like in film Matrix ;-)). 
With Driverpack 6 - not any problems.

Re: trouble with cirillyc fonts in text mode with last driverack

Despite the garbled characters, did the installation still run successfully (provided you figured out when to press what key regardless)?
If so, did any driver get installed that would not have had you not used the DriverPacks?

Second question, the three files in your source,
\I386\winnt.sif
\I386\txtsetup.sif
\I386\dosnet.inf,
what coding are they in (ANSI, Unicode, UTF)?
Can you read them properly or are those "Matrix characters" in there, too?
