There is an app (the author calls it a "hack") to remove extraneous localized messages after the fact... emerge localepurge ...and RTFM before using it. Some apps install messages/manpages/etc in umpteen languages, ***WITHOUT BEING ASKED***. This app gets rid of them. It cleaned out 20 megabytes on my system. It isn't that much on a desktop PC, but if you're working with a SOC that uses flash ram, it may be very nice. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
