Yes, but I didn't want to mention it in case it was Debian-specific. Anyway, I still would have to write a wrapper around that, because I can't invoke that directly from the boot process - it doesn't accept the "start" / "stop" arguments that are used by that process. Maybe something like: -- begin file /etc/init.d/unicode -- #!/bin/sh case $1 in start) unicode_start ;; stop) unicode_stop ;; restart|reload|force-reload) unicode_stop; unicode_start ;; *) echo "Usage: $0 [start|stop|restart|reload|force-reload]" 1>&2; return 1;; esac return 0 -- end file /etc/init.d/unicode -- How does that look to you? The only question is, would this affect all the virtual consoles (if run from rcS.d) or only the boot console (i.e., tty1)? If the latter, how would it be best to adapt this to affect all of the consoles? (I think this is different depending on whether you use the framebuffer or vga text mode - I use the framebuffer.) - Jimmy Kaplowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
