 this is no pb, as far as it only happens during install.

Right -thanks

 I don't use cooker any more (using rsync with the occasional broken
 mirror wipes out my files and with a 56k dialup it's too slow to
 restore them). I do remember that the troels.rsync3.pl script comes
 with an exclude file that occasionally has problems keeping up with the
 changes in the files and directories.  If you add these two lines:
   + locale/en/
   + locale/ISO-8859-15/
  it should fix it.

Thanks - locale/ISO-8859-15/ was excluded.  I'll try that.

 When I enter en-GB as my language I am automatically met by the proposed

 Is it possible that the logical step, concluded by the installation, is

 that might confuse this algoritm is the 'added' language of swedish. This 
 data should according to my understanding only influence a db of dictionaries.
 
 Is the 'setting of locale' in Cooker all fine for everybody?
 

It is too general question - but what we need is separate installation
language and system locale. Currrently I have no way to run
installation in English while configuring default Russian locale for
system. There is localedrake but it is half-broken.

That implies that Mdk has given up on constructing something similar to the 
xserver, where you may change resolution yet map the same GUI in the new 
environment.

What I am looking for is a db of locale, that may easily be changed - 
something similar to the use of English on this list, but letters should be 
able to be constructed within any installed system of language. I am 
guessing, but I assume that many ex colonies have more than one 'locale'.

As it is now, I am never explicitly asked for a locale, this is inferred from 
steps taken during installation.

I've been getting those warnings for months - en_GB:en and London.
