I knew about the locales.build file. What I'm not sure about (and I'm sure this will sound stupid to experianced programs of which I am not part of the group) is whether any programs will fail to run correctly on my machine if I don't build for Japan/France/xxx, or whether it's critical that I build for both en_US/ISO-8859-1 en_US.UTF-8/UTF-8? The documentation is good for telling you what controls what but it's not good for telling you the repercussions of a cefrtain choice. Anyway, thanks much, Mark Thanks, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Anyway, thanks much, Mark Thanks, Mark AFAIK you only need the locales that you plan to use. You can always use localedef to build a locale later if you need it.
