I've done that many times, options were and are set correctly, but no effect on LANG, LANGUAGE & a couple others. And I've "export LANG=en_US" and such as root with zero effect that I can see as the user. > There's probably more than 1 way > Yes see a previous msg about dpkg-reconfigure tzdata, worked exactly for the time displayed as localtime. These things don't have a clock, so they use fake-hwclock, so I turned on ntp.conf logging and that looks like its doing well. But since its not pestering the level one servers, just debians, I left that be. The diff is likely measured in micro-seconds. Now, if I could just figure out which of 262 hits that apt-file find reports to install pdftex from, maybe I could build the realtime kernels docs, theres a failure in building the networking.pdf because whats installed apparently isn't compatible, but 40+ other docs that do use it, build just fine. And the makefile does not compress vmlinux to vmlinuz. I've not determined the syntax for that, nor to make the initrd file. The plain make -j3 after a make clean is about 85 minutes, but I think its making some stuff not needed. This is working not on the sd card, but on a 120GB SSD as a work drive. Plugged into a usb-sata adapter, its around 6x faster than a 7200 rpm rusty glass drive. But so much stuff is different from x86 it gets confusing. I got the proper command and made it a 1 line script to add the missing gateway to the routeing tables, so its on the net ok now if I run that after a reboot. That helps considerably.
