Sorry, I don't know. > And is there a "local" dictionary which can be installed on a machine > which does not have Internet access? Yes. Install 'dictd' and 'dict-gcide'. Then, in the GNOME dictionary's preferences dialog, set the Server to 'localhost'. For a list of available dictionaries, try: $ apt-cache search --names-only dict- I also like to add the following line to /etc/default/dictd: DICTD_ARGS="$DICTD_ARGS --listen-to=127.0.0.1" Hope that helps, Tim -- Timothy Musson member.fsf.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
