In fact, I'd prefer not to have any locale/i18n on my system at all becaue I would never use it. To me, all the po/ stuff that I see is just unnecessary compile time and disk space. For people like me, the ./configure --disable-nls should be used for all the packages. OTOH, I do see how many users would want it. Those that want ot use a character set other than ascii do need it (but probably not 40 different languages--only a selected few). This is one area where I think a wiki to show options it the best way to go. If we give users *some* way to make a choice, I am not adament about the default. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
