I asked for clarification. You provided it. My opinion is based on what you say, as I don't have as good an understanding of i18n issues as you. I consider you the resident expert, and will default to your wisdom. I'm only replying to say thanks for the clarification, and that sometime tomorrow, I'll update the book with the text you provided. Please, Alexander, in the future, as you see things that need to be fixed, please continue to contribute your ideas and insight. Initially I was confused because in one message you wrote: > BTW "dos charset" and "unix charset" are treated as "advanced" parameters by > SWAT--that's IMHO an upstream bug because _every_ non-English user has to set > them. So, I updated the book to reflect that non-English locale users needed to set the dos and unix charset parameters. Only after I updated the book, did you come back and say that English locale users should also add these items. Hopefully, you see why I was confused, and that I was not trying to refute your ideas. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 23:00:00 up 63 days, 22:33, 2 users, load average: 0.22, 0.06, 0.02 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
