So far, it looks like everyone has a different solution than the one I used. I made the change globally in /etc/sysconfig/i18n, and dropped UTF-8. $ cat /etc/sysconfig/i18n # LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LANG="en_US" SUPPORTED="en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en" Seems to work fine, anyone have a good reason _not_ to do it the way I did? - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3} in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9tJt0n/07WoAb/SsRAh/4AJ9Vo2UL/glbg5NYTP7zDWVLu6qNFQCeLI2o t/mTOM8ZnTHBclDDK/xfX/g= =V+AX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
