All, this morning, I have successfully installed Stefan Teleman's KDE 3.4.3 build from sunfreeware on my Solaris 10u4 laptop (running the 32-bit kernel), but run into one interesting question: I would like to run my KDE login using the default "C" locale (as opposed to en_US.UTF8 or de_DE.UTF-8). I tried to call mkdtlogin the following way: # mkdtlogin -b /usr -l C but did not succeed: When choosing the default "C/POSIX" locale, I don't get a "KDE 3.4.3 [32-bit C]" option in the dtlogin "Sessions" menu. However, doing the exact same for "en_US.UTF-8" worked just fine: After executing # mkdtlogin -b /usr -l en_US.UTF-8 and choosing the en_US.UTF-8 locale in dtlogin, a "KDE 3.4.3 [32-bit en_US-UTF-8]" session *is* selectable from the menu. So my question is: How do I create a proper "Sessions" entry for the "C" locale in order to run KDE with the "C" locale? Thanks in advance for any hints, best regards Andreas P.S.: One more issue: Please note that the sunfreeware site ftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com/pub/freeware/KDE/IA32AMD32/PATCHES.BINARIES is missing the binary patches, as are its numerous mirrors. I only found the patches on one single (luckily) outdated mirror in Thailand: ftp://ftp.nectec.or.th/.a/2/linux-softwares/KDE/stable/3.4.3/contrib/Solaris/SUNSTUDIO10/IA32AMD32/PATCHES.BINARIES Can someone please put them back onto the main sunfreeware server?
