That way you fix the client rather than breaking the server. Admittedly, I'm out of my element here, so please, feel free to enlighten me. How does this break the client? What am I missing having changed LANG from en_US.UTF-8 to en_US? I've asked previously, but I still haven't found any reason why _I_ need UTF-8 support. When I use UTF-8, man pages, ncurses based apps, acroread, etc. don't work properly. The Red Hat installer can't be rebuilt as it chokes on a problem with perl and UTF-8. Logwatch suffered from a similar perl/UTF-8 problem. The kernel's 'make menuconfig' doesn't work (Or didn't, I believe this may have been fixed?) These are all minor problems, hardly show stoppers. All are easily worked around. Not using UTF-8 also solves the problem. So, again, what critical functionality am I depriving myself of without UTF-8? - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3}|8.0 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9+q8Tn/07WoAb/SsRAjmvAKCceeDAT0mx43J4gOfRb4CpiRED0gCfSrs3 FUbJ+itKKiNwtAhBTp1b3hA= =7zhf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
