Anyone know of a script for redhat like debian's localepurge,
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/admin/localepurge.html,
that can be used to "to recover diskspace wasted for unneeded
locale files and localized man pages"?
The relatively simple debian script is provided below, in case
anyone can see a quick way to modify it for Red Hat 7.2, more
quickly than i can (which shouldn't be hard :)).
Do i need such as script? Could i just manually delete all
unwanted locale directories under LOCALEDIR=/usr/share/locale
and MANPAGEDIR=/usr/share/man, without damaging anything else?
I'd like to remove all non-US-English locale files and
localized man pages. One thing i specifically do not want to
do is disable my ability use unicode character displays.
Thanks,
Andi
