Hello,

I might ask a stupid question now, but I'll do anyway:

I've installed Slackware Current recently. First thing is to recompile kernel 2.4.27 to match desired requirements
I've added a permanent(* sign) support of Russian Language(UTF-8 & KOI8-R) in the kernel menu configuration, then recompiled the kernel.
Then copied System.map & bzImage to /boot/
Amended /etc/lilo.conf
Run "lilo" to accept new parameters given.
Rebooted the system......an RUSSIAN LANGUAGE IS STILL NOT SUPPORTED BY THE SYSTEM !!!!

Any Idea what i've done wrong ????
Awaiting for any answer in front of my machine running kmail to accept reply confirmation....

P.S. there is no directory /lib/modules/2.4.27/kernel/fs/nls at all.....?

It is logical, you have enabled nls feature as built-in (*) so no nls modules are installed
but it is compiled in the kernel file

Nothing to do with the kernel, but set your locale instead...
Look at :
/etc/profile.d/lang.sh
/etc/profile.d/lang.csh

and set your LANGUAGE, LC_ALL, LANG environment variables

ok that is agree.

But after I complied kernel with Russian NLS support built-it i should at least read russian......should, I ?

But I'm not !

Or I'm wrong ?

THanks,
Sader

No, nls feature is to support other filesystems than english (files and directories named in
Russian for example, not in ASCII). The kernel is then able to read path to these files
