Well, it's not perfect but I'm a lot closer than I was. Many thanks to Roman Pestka for his help. I wasn't actually using `sysidcfg` for my install, I was entering config data manually. My `locale` (correct syntax for a profile keyword) setting was configured in my profile but, try as I might, I couldn't seem to get it to work from there, even though it is listed as a valid option. Roman's advice was to incorporate it into a `sysidcfg` file, remembering here that the correct syntax is `system_locale`. It appears then that the system automatically sets the locale to the default for that country, (ie: en_GB for Britain), and you have to manually update it in /etc/default/init afterwards ....................... unless of course someone else knows otherwise. I'm happ(ier)y now though. Mike R.
