Mike, |

Thank you for your help. I attempted to follow these instructions and |
11 |
ran into three problems. Can you please confirm the fixes I employed |
12 |
to deal with each of these issues: |
13 |
|
14 |
1. The handbook suggests I should modify the file /etc/env.d/02locale, |
15 |
but that file does not exist on my system. RESOLUTION: create the |
16 |
file |
17 |
|
18 |
2. The handbook suggests I should add this line to |
19 |
/etc/env.d/02locale: 'LANG="de_DE.UTF-8"', but I do not speak the |
20 |
language "DE". RESOLUTION: type instead 'LANG="en_US.UTF-8"' to match |
21 |
/etc/locale.gen |
22 |
|
23 |
3. The handbook suggests that I should add this line to |
24 |
/etc/env.d/02locale: 'LC_COLLATE="C"', but I do not know if they are |
25 |
again talking about the language "DE". RESOLUTION: I assumed |
26 |
LC_COLLATE=C refers to english and added the line without |
27 |
modification. |
