I tried blending "i18n" and "POSIX" to create the attached version of /usr/share/i18n/locales/C@utf-8. The name "C.UTF-8" doesn't seem to be usable. The /usr/lib/locale/C@utf-8/ that results is still 158 KB, but the compressed tar archive is about 30 kB. The big file is LC_CTYPE. I don't suppose you could make that file smaller, but maybe you could make it more compressible. Edmund
