Hi, first install the euro-support packages. To enable the euro symbol on console you have to: Edit in /etc/console-tools (depending on what you have installed - the console tools or kbd) the config file and add: SCREEN_FONT_vc1=lat0-16 SCREEN_FONT_vc2=lat0-16 SCREEN_FONT_vc3=lat0-16 SCREEN_FONT_vc4=lat0-16 SCREEN_FONT_vc5=lat0-16 SCREEN_FONT_vc6=lat0-16 Edit you /etc/environment like this: LANG=de_DE@euro LC_ALL=de_DE@euro LANG=de_DE.ISO-8859-15 LANGUAGE=de-DES@euro LC_TYPE=de_DE@euro Install the kde package that supports German language. Choose iso-8859-15 and set it extra in some applications like kedit. This is only a short descriptions of what I have done to enable the euro-symbol. For more details see the euro-support packages. Have fun and success. Oliver -- ... don't touch the bang bang fruit -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
