53 hi,
54
55 you can create any file you want to be sourced at login in
56 /etc/env.d/.
57
58 Here is mine:
59 strowi@Yggdrasill ~ $ cat /etc/env.d/02locale
60 LC_ALL="de_DE.utf8"
61
62
63 Notice the utf8 instead of utf-8. It may be irrelevant here, but i
64 found out the hard way, that some place needs utf-8 and another one
65 utf8.

67 Greetings from Germany,
