This boots into some TTY! Well...er...yeah. It boots into a rescue environment. That environment is not your installed system. Unless you run 'chroot /mnt/sysimage' - which makes /mnt/sysimage the root directory, effectively putting your 'inside' your installed system - then any commands you run take effect with regard to _the rescue environment_, not the installed system. So you just changed the language of the rescue environment.

But again, you would have to chroot first. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
