Yikes!  But  is it  still that hard?   I thought  that a lot  of those
issues were  resolved these days.   Eg. don't the LFS  console scripts
properly handle switching all the virtual consoles to UTF-8 now?

Masochism, same reason for running  LFS.  :-) But seriously, I thought
that  UTF-8 was  pretty much  the  default now  and the  LFS 6.5  book
discusses UTF-8  locales without suggesting  that they're particularly
troublesome, so  I assumed  it wouldn't involve  too much  pain.  I'll
postpone thoughts of UTF-8 until LFS 6.5 is up and running.

Thanks for the tip,
