Hi Carlos:

Excuse me "butting" in, but I had an issue with my Locales as well. I
followed your advice above, (had to install the components to do this)
and after reconfiguring, I'm still shown the following:

        Generating locales...
             en_CA.ISO-8859-1... done
             en_GB.ISO-8859-1... done
             en_US.ISO-8859-1... done
             Generation complete.
              
              barnyard:# locale
              LANG=POSIX
              LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
              LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
              LC_TIME="POSIX"
              LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
              LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
              LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
              LC_PAPER="POSIX"
              LC_NAME="POSIX"
              LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
              LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
              LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
              LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
              LC_ALL=
              

What am I missing?
