I got the previous error messages fixed. I had only used 'en' instead of 'en_US' in 02locale. However I still have C and POSIX. Where might those be coming from? lightning etc # locale -a C en_US en_US.utf8 POSIX lightning etc # > It should be one of those 4 settings. And you don't want C or POSIX so = either > LANG=3D"en_US" or LANG=3D"en_US.utf8". If you choose the latter you wan= t to read > the UTF-8 guide [1]... The former should be ok though. > > [1] http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/utf-8.xml The reason that I *think* I want UTF-8 is that I've had trouble ripping CDs having certain French and German characters in sing names then having them be recognized by other programs such as Aqualung. One other locale question. I've started needing to reboot this machine into Windows more often so that my son and his freinds can play LAN games against each other. Is the only thing required to do that is to set the clock setting to "local"? I set it that way but haven't had time to do multiple reboots to test it.
