Thanks Baka, I think I will install 8.2 if I decide to reinstall the system. This is one of the biggest challanges of Linux in general, I believe. MS somehow succeeded to solve this problem, however some work still needs to be done for linux.
Hakan PS: BTW I did change the language in KDE control center as well as other places like /etc/sysconfig/i18n, etc. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Baka Attila Tam�s" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, April 11, 2002 5:52 AM Subject: RE: [newbie] problem with individualization > Hi! > > I guess you changed the language in the KDE control center.
