Well, how else would you suggest to do it? Bearing in mind all other terminal emulators (xterm, gnome-terminal, konsole, and so on) all have other out-of-band ways to determine this - config files, menu options, locale variables,... None of those are particularlly viable for the kernel. I vote this is the closest thing we've got. -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ# 4135350 | Registered Linux# 179460 http://www.leonerd.org.uk/
