Well apparebtly mandrake are hearing you Ilia, and fucking arround with stuff that they should not. In mdk9.0 he_IL == he_IL..utf8, but that's written above already... solution: set the locale to iw_IL, or dump mandrake to gentoo (sounds better every day...) - diego ================================================================To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
