My default locale is en_CA although I compile a few others as well. A couple of the apps I use on the console don't look right when I use UTF-8. BTW, I installed lenny last night with unstable lines added to sources.list. I installed gnome for the desktop along with nspluginwrapper & friends and it installed without issue. I can't get x to start up though, it can't seem to find the nvidia driver. I'm going to go and see if I can make it work now and if not switch over to the nv driver for the time being. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
