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.
