Bug#441846: please hook win32-loader in autorun.inf

Package: debian-cd
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

As of 0.6.0~pre3, win32-loader checks for README.html when running. If found, it will:

• Minimize itself.
• Open README.html with the system's default browser.

Asides from the ability to continue installation using it, this makes two improvements in how README.html itself is handled:

• No ugly DOS window.
• Allows for l10n (if README.$lang.html is found it'll take preference, where $lang is an iso-639 code).

I think this makes it suitable for being run by autorun.inf directly. See attached patch.

• System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-5-amd64 Locale: LANG=ca_AD.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ca_AD.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)
