localepurge for FreeBSD?
Hi, Debian GNU/Linux has a utility called `localepurge'. This software asks the user about his locale, and purges remaining locales. The recovered disk space, when executed the first time, can run into many megabytes. Is there an equivalent for FreeBSD?

One question: in a remote chance if one wants to convert/translate text from one locale to another, will that conversion work (via iconv its ilk) devoid of the locale definitions? - Parv -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Likely not, but that's why it first shows a menu, where the user can keep locales he is interested in. OTOH, I just don't need most of those locales -- chinese, korean, japanese, ... I can use the same disk space for something better.
