I have found that this will not cause an error KEYMAP="us" FONT="lat1-16 -m 8859-1" and the system will boot without displaying an error. I don't know if that is the same if you don't have a console files or not. Now I am trying to set this system up for UTF-8 is the console setting the same or would it need to be changed if i set LANG=en_US.UTF-8 ? I am trying to understand all these settings and there affect on the system in question. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
