Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I have a good idea what you're saying. Seems to me this is the same that Jurg emailed to me a long time ago. I'm not sure why I didn't take his advice about the "comment=managed" keyword. Anyway, I'd like confirmation on a couple of things: Seems the stuff you say for all users amounts to changing the ...keyword.primary to "comment=managed" from "managed" and using the existing s/pamconsole/users/ sed. This is all I can see different. Next thing is that my current setup does not have a userspace tool setup to *automatically* mount the devices, though since I just use the regular mount command (not pmount), I should be able to just mount manually using the fstab file update and mount point creation that HAL does, correct? I can also boot into a partition that has gnome-volume-manager setup and test there as well, if I need to. But it doesn't sound like I need to. > Proposal 2: > > [snip adjustments] > > This requires per-site configuration, since the correct values for > [replaceme] depend on the locale.

If you want instructions to see how different values > of those options are needed for a different locale, please say so. Yes to both of your suggestions. Summary: use your per-site config, using the 8859-1 and 437 stuff, and no, I don't need to see how different values make it so that other locales work, it is obvious to me. Hopefully, I'm on track here. -- 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] 12:42:00 up 97 days, 22:06, 3 users, load average: 0.16, 0.06, 0.21 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
