And whoosh - you've created a FrankenDebian and dependencies on a Raspberry Pi OS that you don't run.. Raspi-config is a collection of shell scripts. Gunnar's Raspberry Pi images are deliberately small. If you want to reconfigure locale - apt-get install locales ; dpkg-reconfigure locales (this last as root / root equivalent using sudo) Timezone: dpkg-reconfigure tzdata There are good Debian commands that will work on every Debian system you come across :-) All the very best, as ever, Andy C.
