Okay, thanks for the replies.

I'm still a bit confused though. On my F9 system I have
an /etc/sysconfig/i18n file, but no '$HOME/.i18n'. So according to
the /etc/profile.d/i18n file, it should execute:

      for langfile in /etc/sysconfig/i18n $HOME/.i18n ; do
        [ -f $langfile ] && . $langfile && sourced=1
      done

Then a bit further on we have:

  [ -n "$LC_COLLATE" ] && export LC_COLLATE || unset LC_COLLATE

Since I have set LC_COLLATE="C" in /etc/sysconfig/i18n, then LC_COLLATE
should be exported.

Perhaps I need to test a little bit more.


John.
