If you feel offended, please stick to the other howto in the link you 
gave me.

What I meant whas I don't care. The other interfaces are usually old or 
cost money. My howto doesn't hand out money.

Some programs don't respect LC_CTYPE when you set LANG to English. 
LC_ALL and LANG are a better combination in my experience. So I left 
LC_CTYPE out on purpose.

Thanks for the tip about the other howto though. I might look at it if I
