hi
would it be possible to include this in rc.conf
else every user has to modify its /etc/profile
LANG=...
an option in rc.conf would be a great thing
the openoffice issue was caused by this and noone was able to write accents
This task depends upon

rc.conf isn't really a good place for an environment variable. The other locale-type variables in rc.conf are not actually exported to the environment, they're used by utility programs during bootup.

exports should be in /etc/profile instead. I'll add a default LANG to bash's /etc/profile.
