No need to do that. It is indeed where the locales are kept. Or so it seems from strace of any simple command (try 'strace date'). Anybody wants to dive into glibc's source? Searching, I see that rawhide's rpm packages now contain /usr/sbin/build-locale-archive . I could not find this binary on my debian-unstable. -- Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+ ================================================================= 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]
