Don't worry about it.. ;P
Thanks. You are generous. I am getting closer with your help.

I believe those errors means your LANG setting is wrong.
I got the previous error messages fixed. I had only used 'en' instead
of 'en_US' in 02locale.
However I still have C and POSIX. Where might those be coming from?
lightning etc # locale -a
C
en_US
en_US.utf8
POSIX
lightning etc #
It should be one of those 4 settings. And you don't want C or POSIX so either
LANG="en_US" or LANG="en_US.utf8". If you choose the latter you want to read
the UTF-8 guide [1]... The former should be ok though.

The reason that I *think* I want UTF-8 is that I've had trouble
ripping CDs having certain French and German characters in sing names
then having them be recognized by other programs such as Aqualung.
One other locale question. I've started needing to reboot this machine
into Windows more often so that my son and his freinds can play LAN
games against each other. Is the only thing required to do that is to
set the clock setting to "local"? I set it that way but haven't had
time to do multiple reboots to test it.
Thanks again,
Mark
