Hi all

i want to have chinese support for my slackware 9.1, not the whole system become chinese enironment. i tried to export LANG=zh_CN,LC_ALL=zh_CN,LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.
but it juz show some weird characters rather than the chinese characters. can someone tell me what to do?

besides, even i type halt,shutdown -h now or telinit 0, the power still on after showing Power down at the end. What's going on?

i dont know about the language dealy

but at the end when it says Power Down, you have to manually press the power button on ur computer

Check if you have installed right chinese font, like zysong.ttf in the RH, or simsun.ttf in the windows. You don't even need to change your locale if you just want view chinese. You can add en_US.utf-8 locale defination by command localedef -vci en_US -f UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8, then define your locale in your .bash_profile file, and can use SCIM for chinese input.
Two ways to solve the "problem":
1. modify /etc/rc.d/rc.modules and uncomment the line "/usr/sbin/apm" to enable apm module
2. or recompile your kernel with ACPI support.

Good Luck, BTW, if you have such questions, I don't think here is a right forum you should come to ask, since most of them don't know about chinese. Anyway, slackware should do more for international users.

thanks ganlu it did solve the power down problem.but i still cant get the chinese font works will try it again later. any chinese linux web sites to recommend?
