That post got hung up somewhere in the system and popped out 9 days later. My point was that Rowan should not need a separate installation for his Russian language settings. Under Mandrake (similar to RH) he should be able to either switch languages at will or create two users each with a different default language. That was so long ago I'm hoping all his questions were answered. -- Rob Stockley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
