Dale, why are you setting all those values yourself? As far as I know, the only one you need to set is the first one: LANG. The rest of them should all be taken care of by portage - unless you have very particular (i.e. special) requirements. I don't have any of those values set anywhere; look: $ grep -r LC_ /etc /etc/init.d/hwclock: if LC_ALL=C hwclock --help 2>&1 | grep -q "\-\-noadjfile"; then /etc/portage/savedconfig/sys-apps/busybox-1.21.0:# CONFIG_FEATURE_IPCALC_FANCY is not set /etc/portage/savedconfig/sys-apps/busybox-1.21.0:# CONFIG_FEATURE_IPCALC_LONG_OPTIONS is not set /etc/ssh/ssh_config:SendEnv LANG LC_* This is my /etc/locale.gen: en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8 en_GB ISO-8859-1 en_GB.ISO-8859-15 ISO-8859-15 I don't remember why I still have those last two entries; I expect they date from before Gentoo adopted UTF-8. Maybe I'll remove them and see what happens. It's an easy trap to fall into: over-specifying details just because Gentoo lets you do so, in contrast to other distros. KISS :) -- Regards Peter
