We have, I think, a problem with the definition of locale. Surely, I'm not alone in thinking that when I have set my timezone (to Australia/Perth) I've configured my locale.
Not at all. Timezone and locale may be related, but one does not imply the other. My timezone is CET - what does that tell you about my locale?
When I started up Yast just now, I saw separate choices for "Time and Date" and "Language." Both of those are elements of 'locale,"
No, they are not. Type in "locale" on your computer to see your locale settings, and you'll notice that the time-format, but not the timezone is part of the locale. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- http://www.spamchek.com/ - managed anti-spam and anti-virus solution.
