These settings are from AGES ago. I think they are still in use tho. root@fireball / # cat /etc/make.conf | grep lang LANG="en_US" root@fireball / # cat /etc/make.conf | grep L10N L10N="en en-US" root@fireball / # You would replace US with GB of course. Oh, I put a link from /etc/make.conf to the real one. I'm used to the old location. :/ That help? Dale :-) :-)
