Hi,
this is more a whish ...
Sometime ago I was discussing with some friends about localization and we
arrive to ask why not having all the locale settings configured in one
place only.
I'll try to explain better...
I am italian. If I want to take advantage of everything the italian locale
have to offer in FreeBSD I have to config a lot of files.
using a right terminal i.e:
cons25l1
/etc/rc.conf:
keymap="it.iso"
font8x8="iso15-8x8"
font8x14="iso15-8x14"
font8x16="iso15-8x16"
~/.login_conf
me:\
:charset=iso-8859-15:\
:lang=it_IT.ISO8859-15:
/etc/ttys
put cons25i (or 30i) in the ttys line
while I can have a db (like pccard.conf i.e) that can be set to exec all
this tasks in one shot:
vidcontrol -f 8x16 iso15-8x16.fnt
kbdcontrol -l it.iso.kbd
setenv LANG it_IT.ISO8859-15
setenv MM_CHARSET iso-8859-15
setenv TERM cons25l1
so in my /etc/rc.conf I can have i.e:
locale=italy
and the during boot everything automagically is setup.
Thanks for attention.
