Not using KMScon would prevent support for the Chinese and Japanese
language during install, would it not?
Currently there is no support because
· the Chinese and Japanese locales are not added to the installer, it
only includes glibc-utf8-locales,
· there is no translated PO file for the installer yet anyway,
but otherwise it would work, would it not?
However, this means in particular that
· when using KMScon, the installer should change the locale that gets
used once it is selected,
· when using mingetty, the locale should only be changed for languages
other than Chinese and Japanese,
· the console font should be changed to match the locale similar to
console-setup on Debian.
Maybe some of this is already supported, I don’t know.

Florian
