Here's a new one, I haven't yet entirely figured out with Google ... What places do I need to modify to rid myself of all the US-isms? I've changed the Region and Keyboard layout to British in KDE, and I also worked out that I needed to add a specific GB localisation package for Iceweasel. What other places exist for setting the localisation? Are there any other applications which require additional GB localisation packages? I installed the localization-config tool after reading about it online, but if I run "update-locale-config -l" there doesn't seem to be a mention of GB English ... Thanks for any pointers, Peter.

So I guess you did: $ sudo apt-get install kde-i18n-engb ?

Some other things I usually try to remember to do are: $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales and add en_GB_UTF-8 (and sometimes remove the other ones). And also $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-data select, "choose keymap from archlist" and then select the obvious choices. Though you may have done this when you installed. And maybe: $ sudo apt-get install ibritish myspell-en-gb Cheers, Richard -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Richard Lewis http://www.richard-lewis.me.uk/ JID: ironchicken@jabber.earth.li -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Yes (using aptitude), for the KDE locale. But if you're referring to Iceweasel, I had to do: $ sudo aptitude install iceweasel-l10n-en-gb

Haven't tried most of those (except I added the GB myspell dictionary), so I'll give them a go, cheers. What are the best debian web resources? So far, I'm just googling randomly but it's a bit hit and miss - especially for less common things like this. I don't suppose there's a Debian equivalent to Ubuntu's forums or ubuntuguide.org? Peter.

Don't you? I would have thought http://forums.debian.net/ was one. The biggest one probably remains debian-user, available through multiple email, web forum, blog and NNTP interfaces. http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/ http://news.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.user http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.user/topics http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.user news:linux.debian.user nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.user Hope that helps, -- MJ Ray - see/vidu http://mjr.towers.org.uk/email.html Experienced webmaster-developers for hire http://www.ttllp.co.uk/ Also: statistician, sysadmin, online shop builder, workers co-op.
