And if my well aged wet ram is to be trusted, it used to do a lot more than it is now, only setting two items in the locales now. Or its been stripped to do the bare minimum on a rock64/arm64. Dunno which, but its a dissapointment, just like the networking is broken in that it cannot apply a gateway to a static setup without doing a separate command with route once its booted. Putting the gateway address into /e/n/i.d/eth0 is simply ignored. I even moved it to /e/n/i, no effect. Yesterday I tried changing the static address, took 3 powerdown reboots to actually get that to take, and 2 reboots to restore the original which was easier than editing every /e/hosts file on my local network. A networking restart totally ignores anything you do in /e/n/i. Sounds crazy and impossible, but thats how it works here.
