My book agrees with Archaic. Using by ... of/the is correct, but could be construed as an inflated phrase, leading to a stylistically wordy sentence. The tone of the sentence could be changed to be more authoritative (and even more concise): Use the localdef command to create and install additional locales. That might change the meaning too much though... ~Jason -- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
