I did just a complete recompile of all GNOME libs and apps (the "normal" distribution tarballs, not the mdk SRPMS) and didn't have any locales installed afterwards. After examining the ./configure scripts I became aware that it must be the fault of the LINGUAS variable. Yes; But even "export LINGUAS=" before configuring did not help. No; that defines LINGUAS to null; that is *not* the same as undefining it. To undefine it do 'unset LINGUAS'. (or remove it from the i18n file) The reason for that is that rpm previously only installed the language files for the locale of the person launching the rpm tool; which in some cases would be wrong. The rpm tool has been patched to accept a different variable; but sadly it has been the LINGUAS variable that is also used for other purposes. When we realized that we changed DrakX and patched rpm to use a variable of its own (RPM_INSTALL_LANG) instead. But the final 7.0 CD images were already out. When I changed "LINGUAS=de_DE:de" to "LINGUAS=" in /etc/sysconfig/i18n and logged in again, it was fine afterwards. That is because the script reading the i18n file does an "unset VARIABLE" when the VARIABLE is set to null. But what you want to do is in fact remove the line. Now all the locales got installed when trying again. If you want all the locales being installed when you install an rpm package; you cna put RPM_INSTALL_LANG=all (or =de if you want only german, or =de:fr if you wnat German and French, etc). That doesn't work with the current rpm you have; but will with the next one; and once that will correctly work with rpm tool we will begin to massively use that possibility on the produced rpm files. This was not working with LINGUAS set in i18n. Just to tell you... Yes, in fact would have thought that LINGUAS would accept several locales, but it doesn't seem to (or it uses a different syntax). The problem is known and a correct solution has finally been found; it will be used by default on future versions. Sorry for the inconvenience.

That page isn't opened as home page (that is trough the 'home' button

The scripts reads the $HOME/.netscape/preferences.js file to see if

So it seems Netscape does some strange thing when the home page is set to

Well; to make long story short my hunch seems to have payed off... Out of frustration (and since the ftp install from cookers seems to be incomplete) I mounted a Mandrake 7.0 cd in one computer and am doing an ftp based install on the one that was having the problems... So far so good... (Looks like I'll be taking the CD-Rom drive out for target practice...) Esko
