LC_COLLATE is used by many utility-level things (eg, the ordering of /bin/ls output) so I thought it wise not to touch it, in case scripts ever rely on a certain sorted output. You're actually the first person to ever bring up the need to change it. You can easily override the default Arch setting, though. It's in /etc/profile. Can't miss it. - J _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
