On Debian/Ubuntu, "dpkg-reconfigure locales" is a light wrapper around localgegen (I think, I am currently on Fedora...). On Mandriva, you can install each one of those locales by an rpm instead of generating them on your machine. If you want to change the locale of your system, this is a mandatory step. However it does not change the locale. What I usually do (works on Debian/Ubuntu/Mandriva/Fedora) is: locale > ~/.i18n and then edit ~/.i18n as needed. Here it is on my machine: [elc...@pinky ~] cat /home/elcuco/.i18n LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="he_IL.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="he_IL.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL= _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
