How badly do you need Japanese? Does it all have to be japanese, or do you just need to write the occasional japanese document?
I gave up trying to get Mandrake to do all Japanese - but didn't try that hard, because I don't need menus in Japanese, I just need to occasionally read and write some email or a letter in Japanese. My solution to this was to switch to emacs. emacs can input / read / save Japanese just fine and with LaTeX and the CJK package, creating and printing documents is not a problem. Email can be done with emacs and gnus. If you need more than that - ie a completely japanese-language system, I am afraid I cannot help much. I had most of the same problems you are having. Red Hat makes a japanese version, but it isn't as good as mandrake. IMHO, Mandrake should consider a real Japanese version - they are much better than Red Hat on the desktop and Asia isn't nearly as entralled with MS as the States are. I could probably get my office to try Mandrake if it was in Japanese. -- Chris Spackman gpg: 9B6B 860E 7C06 787F 366F 5D3E 7152 DCB2 FC51 51B9
