If you do "dpkg-reconfigure locales" you can set "en_US" as the system- wide default. You can also put "LC_ALL=en_US" into /etc/environment yourself. Each individual user can put their settings into his/her .bashrc or .bash_aliases ("export LC_ALL=en_US"). The graphical environments all handle it slightly differently; in KDE, for example, you can put an executable script into the ~/.kde/env directory to set the defaults for all applications which you don't start from a terminal window. -- Regards, Florian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
