Hey, I'm "non-ASCII" too ;-). If there is enough interest to put a better i18n support on LFS, I'm in to help. Fortunately, AFAIK there is not much trouble for 8bit locales aside from enabling NLS during package build (which is not default on some LFS packages, and may need patches to work properly). UTF-8 is another story. Anyway, I'm willing to help on i18n where possible. -- Anderson Lizardo [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/
