Recent copies (unless it was changed back to big file edition) are blank, and add the list of locales to /usr/share/doc/locales/SUPPORTED.gz. So people will very rarely get prompted for changes. Then, what's the problem? I don't want to have to go through a debconf interface to try and configure my locale.gen file; heck, SUPPORTED doesn't even include half my locales (mainly UTF-8). How does making it a conffile hurt things again? (locale.gen attached as an extreme example that needs to be supported.) -- David Starner - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Pointless website: http://dvdeug.dhis.org "I don't care if Bill personally has my name and reads my email and laughs at me.
