Hi, I've solved it but am afraid that the solution rather messy. The correct modules are in the ltsp tree (8859-15 and cp850) in my case. So I backed up the default modules and then replaced them with links to the ones I wanted.
Now, when the client loads iso-8859-1the 8895-15 gets loaded instead. It works. but, how should I change the default behaviour? The more I look, the more I realise how little I know. Thanks.
