well, normally packages are compiled with en,en_US or en_GB. adding all of them sets the programs to install at least one of them by default. if you need en_US, then add only that, so your linguas should remain only en and en_US. if it's not read then there's no problem. so i think that it's not a real need to rebuild anything. just leave there the linguas and build only new packages with that languages when they came out. since it does nothing particular not having it installed for that particular language. also i think that rebuilding a lot of packages just to add en_US and loosing time doing that it's not good. so, just add en_US and then build with that flags just the updated packages that will hit portage in the future. > I will deal with the Flash stuff after I make sure I understand your > instructions on this part. en_US and en_GB? Added now but waiting for > some feedback before I start rebuilding. so try fixing the nspluginwrapper (if you need help search nspluginwrapper on http://gentoo-wiki.com/) and if the base install command doesn't work then do a symlink to the plugin in the mozilla directory. -- dott. ing. beso
