Some time ago it was suggested (here or at [EMAIL PROTECTED], I can't remember) that the installation system should create a LANG=<locale> line in /etc/profile, /etc/environment or any other file alike, that would define the default locale for the system, and may be overruled in the users' ~/.<whatever-your-shell-uses>.
I would like to implement that for hamm's boot-floppies, as that would make Debian the first Linux distribution that supports Latin1 "out of the box". The question is, where should I put that line? /etc/profile : Not every shell uses it. (And I'm not sure that setting root's locale to anything other than C won't cause problems with daemons, cron scripts and anything else that runs automatically). /etc/environment : Which program/s use that? (same concerns about root's locale). /etc/skel/.<whatever> That may be tricky, as it may mean other packages should be aware of that line, and don't overwrite it.
