Re: arabeyes & ethiopian languages

hello DT:

This is easy. all you need is:

1. open a terminal and be root
2. #dpkg-reconfigure locales
3. choose the arabic utf-8 one or ones (there are many)
4. choose ok.
5. the locale will be generated for ya
6. log out and log back in using GDM
7. make sure you choose the language
8. log into GNOME with Arabic interface

I hope this helps

Anmar

p.s. Please post your questions on the mailing lists 
(general at arabeyes dot org) so other people can benefit also.
