It's fast (you don't have to build packages from scratch), and it didn't fail me even once, although I heard playing with glibc such way may be dangerous (particularly, downgrading it). I guess it works for other purposes too. I don't like installing from scratch if there is a way to fix it. I don't like that approach 'unpack stage on top of your system', because it will lead to system pollution: a lot of files might be no longer tracked by package manager after that. But that's just my experience and opinion. I hope it can help you. If I can install something as a binary and then get a clean emerge -e system/world out of it, I think it would be OK. Thing is, I'm concerned something is amiss with the stage3 tarball. If that is the case, I want to inform the person that overseas that so it can be fixed. Installing Gentoo is hard enough for someone seasoned but would be a nightmare for someone new to Gentoo. Now to figure out what is the root problem on this thing. Dale :-) :-) Dale.

As far as I know, the only one you need to set is the first one: LANG. The rest of them should all be taken care of by portage - unless you have very particular (i.e. special) requirements. I don't have any of those values set anywhere; look: $ grep -r LC_ /etc /etc/init.d/hwclock:if LC_ALL=C hwclock --help 21 | grep -q \-\-noadjfile; then /etc/portage/savedconfig/sys-apps/busybox-1.21.0:# CONFIG_FEATURE_IPCALC_FANCY is not set /etc/portage/savedconfig/sys-apps/busybox-1.21.0:# CONFIG_FEATURE_IPCALC_LONG_OPTIONS is not set /etc/ssh/ssh_config:SendEnv LANG LC_* This is my /etc/locale.gen: en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8 en_GB ISO-8859-1 en_GB.ISO-8859-15 ISO-8859-15 I don't remember why I still have those last two entries; I expect they date from before Gentoo adopted UTF-8. Maybe I'll remove them and see what happens. It's an easy trap to fall into: over-specifying details just because Gentoo lets you do so, in contrast to other distros. KISS :) -- Regards Peter

No clue why it decides to moan about it now. Well that is suprising, since the contents you have on that file are totally wrong, locale.gen(5) manpage explicitly states the syntax for that file is: locale charset example: en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 The man page also points you to the directories in /usr/share/i18n/ wich are locales/ and charmaps/ with the list of the ones available for Gentoo, and also a convenient file named 'SUPPORTED' which tells itself a list of what it has inside. Also a the file alredy in the /etc/locale.gen in the stage3, has some examples, since en_US.UTF-8 is the second example (and that's your locale) you just need to uncomment that and run locale-gen. Also LANG is an environment variable it has nothing to do in there. PD: the manpages have the best supported answers, look at it before going to random howtos online, its already at your installation anyway. Thanks. Dale :-) :-)

Maybe I'll remove them and see what happens. The last line is for Western European ASCII character encodings, just like en_GB ISO-8859-1, but with the Euro symbol and some other accented characters missing from the latter. Nothing will happen if you remove the last two entries, because (I think) that the UTF-8 character encodings cover all these. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
