If you type env in a term what is lang= set to? You can adjust that setting by running "dpkg-reconfigure locales". I think etch uses utf-8 by default. A better solution would be if packages were utf-8 capable. It may be that xmms and iceweasel are not utf-8 aware but my knowledge if this stuff is sketcky at best. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
