Install the locales package as afore mentioned. Helping a friend do an install yesterday after a HD crash we installed locales through aptitude. Strangely, we had to run dpkg-reconfigure locales to set it up properly. In the user's home directory I've always added "export LANG=en_US" to ~/.bashrc I also use localepurge to only keep my prefered locale files on my systems. - Nate >> -- Wireless | Amateur Radio Station N0NB | Successfully Microsoft Amateur radio exams; ham radio; Linux info @ | free since January 1998. http://www.qsl.net/n0nb/ | "Debian, the choice of My Kawasaki KZ-650 SR @ | a GNU generation!" http://www.networksplus.net/n0nb/ | http://www.debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
