+
+  <para>Charmaps can have a number of aliases, e.g., <quote>ISO-8859-1</quote>

+  Some applications cannot handle the various synonyms correctly (e.g., require
+  that <quote>UTF-8</quote> is written as <quote>UTF-8</quote>, not
+  <quote>utf8</quote>), so it is safest in most
+  cases to choose the canonical name for a particular locale. To determine
+  the canonical name, run the following command, where <replaceable>&lt;locale

+<screen><computeroutput>ISO-8859-1</computeroutput></screen>
+
+  <para>This results in a final locale setting of <quote>en_GB.ISO-8859-1</quote>.

+
+  <para>The above commands should print the language name, the character
+  encoding used by the locale, the local currency, and the prefix to dial
+  before the telephone number in order to get into the country. If any of the
+  commands above fail with a message similar to the one shown below, this means
+  that your locale was either not installed in Chapter 6 or is not supported by
+  the default installation of Glibc.</para>
+
+<screen><computeroutput>locale: Cannot set LC_* to default locale: No such file or directory</computeroutput></screen>
+
+  <para>If this happens, you should either install the desired locale using the
+  <command>localedef</command> command, or consider choosing a different locale.
+  Further instructions assume that there are no such error messages from
+  Glibc.</para>
+
+  <!-- FIXME: the xlib example will became obsolete real soon -->
+  <para>Some packages beyond LFS may also lack support for your chosen locale. One
+  example is the X library (part of the X Window System), which outputs the
+  following error message if the locale does not exactly match one of the character
+  map names in its internal files:</para>
+
+<screen><computeroutput>Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C</computeroutput></screen>
+
+  <para>In several cases Xlib expects that the character map will be listed in
+  uppercase notation with canonical dashes. For instance, "ISO-8859-1" rather
+  than "iso88591". It is also  possible to find an appropriate specification by
+  removing the charmap part of the locale specification.  This can be checked
+  by running the <command>locale charmap</command> command in both locales.
+  For example, one would have to change "de_DE.ISO-8859-15@euro" to
+  "de_DE@euro" in order to get this locale recognized by Xlib.</para>
+
+  <para>Other packages can also function incorrectly (but may not necessarily
+  display any error messages) if the locale name does not meet their expectations.
+  In those cases, investigating how other Linux distributions support your locale
+  might provide some useful information.</para>
+
+  <para>Once the proper locale settings have been determined, create the
+  <filename>/etc/locale.conf</filename> file:</para>
+
+<screen><userinput>cat &gt; /etc/locale.conf &lt;&lt; "EOF"
+<literal>LANG=<replaceable>&lt;ll&gt;_&lt;CC&gt;.&lt;charmap&gt;&lt;@modifiers&gt;</replaceable></literal>
+EOF</userinput></screen>
+
+  <para>The <quote>C</quote> (default) and <quote>en_US</quote> (the recommended
+  one for United States English users) locales are different. <quote>C</quote>
+  uses the US-ASCII 7-bit character set, and treats bytes with the high bit set
+  as invalid characters. That's why, e.g., the <command>ls</command> command
+  substitutes them with question marks in that locale. Also, an attempt to send
+  mail with such characters from Mutt or Pine results in non-RFC-conforming
+  messages being sent (the charset in the outgoing mail is indicated as <quote>unknown
+  8-bit</quote>). So you can use the <quote>C</quote> locale only if you are sure that
+  you will never need 8-bit characters.</para>
+
+  <para>UTF-8 based locales are not supported well by many programs.

   <title>Creating Custom Symlinks to Devices</title>
-
-  <sect2>
-
-    <title>CD-ROM symlinks</title>
-
-    <para>Some software that you may want to install later (e.g., various
-    media players) expect the <filename class="symlink">/dev/cdrom</filename>
-    and <filename class="symlink">/dev/dvd</filename> symlinks to exist, and
-    to point to a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM device. Also, it may be convenient to put
-    references to those symlinks into <filename>/etc/fstab</filename>. Udev
-    comes with a script that will generate rules files to create these symlinks
-    for you, depending on the capabilities of each device, but you need to
-    decide which of two modes of operation you wish to have the script use.</para>
-
-    <para>First, the script can operate in <quote>by-path</quote> mode (used by
-    default for USB and FireWire devices), where the rules it creates depend on
-    the physical path to the CD or DVD device. Second, it can operate in
-    <quote>by-id</quote> mode (default for IDE and SCSI devices), where the
-    rules it creates depend on identification strings stored in the CD or DVD
-    device itself. The path is determined by Udev's <command>path_id</command>
-    script, and the identification strings are read from the hardware by its
-    <command>ata_id</command> or <command>scsi_id</command> programs, depending
-    on which type of device you have.</para>
-
-    <para>There are advantages to each approach; the correct approach to use
-    will depend on what kinds of device changes may happen. If you expect the
-    physical path to the device (that is, the ports and/or slots that it plugs
-    into) to change, for example because you plan on moving the drive to a
-    different IDE port or a different USB connector, then you should use the
-    <quote>by-id</quote> mode. On the other hand, if you expect the device's
-    identification to change, for example because it may die, and you would
-    replace it with a different device with the same capabilities and which
-    is plugged into the same connectors, then you should use the
-    <quote>by-path</quote> mode.</para>
-
-    <para>If either type of change is possible with your drive, then choose a
-    mode based on the type of change you expect to happen more often.</para>
-
-<!-- If you use by-id mode, the symlinks will survive even the transition
-     to libata for IDE drives, but that is not for the book. -->
-
-    <important><para>External devices (for example, a USB-connected CD drive)
-    should not use by-path persistence, because each time the device is plugged
-    into a new external port, its physical path will change. All
-    externally-connected devices will have this problem if you write Udev rules
-    to recognize them by their physical path; the problem is not limited to CD
-    and DVD drives.</para></important>
-
-    <para>If you wish to see the values that the Udev scripts will use, then
-    for the appropriate CD-ROM device, find the corresponding directory under
-    <filename class="directory">/sys</filename> (e.g., this can be
-    <filename class="directory">/sys/block/hdd</filename>) and
-    run a command similar to the following:</para>
-
-<screen role="nodump"><userinput>udevadm test /sys/block/hdd</userinput></screen>
-
-    <para>Look at the lines containing the output of various *_id programs.
-    The <quote>by-id</quote> mode will use the ID_SERIAL value if it exists and
-    is not empty, otherwise it will use a combination of ID_MODEL and
-    ID_REVISION. The <quote>by-path</quote> mode will use the ID_PATH value.</para>
-
-    <para>If the default mode is not suitable for your situation, then the
-    following modification can be made to the
-    <filename>/lib/udev/rules.d/75-cd-aliases-generator.rules</filename> file,
-    as follows (where <replaceable>mode</replaceable> is one of
-    <quote>by-id</quote> or <quote>by-path</quote>):</para>
-
-<screen role="nodump"><userinput>sed -i -e 's/"write_cd_rules"/"write_cd_rules <replaceable>mode</replaceable>"/' \
-    /lib/udev/rules.d/75-cd-aliases-generator.rules</userinput></screen>
-
-    <para>Note that it is not necessary to create the rules files or symlinks
-    at this time, because you have bind-mounted the host's
-    <filename class="directory">/dev</filename> directory into the LFS system,
-    and we assume the symlinks exist on the host. The rules and symlinks will
-    be created the first time you boot your LFS system.</para>
-
-    <para>However, if you have multiple CD-ROM devices, then the symlinks
-    generated at that time may point to different devices than they point to on
-    your host, because devices are not discovered in a predictable order. The

-      located in <filename class="directory">/lib/udev/devices</filename> to
-      <filename class="directory">/dev</filename>. This is necessary because
-      some devices, directories, and symlinks are needed before the dynamic
-      device handling processes are available during the early stages of
-      booting a system, or are required by <command>udevd</command> itself.
-      Creating static device nodes in <filename
-      class="directory">/lib/udev/devices</filename> also provides an easy
-      workaround for devices that are not supported by the dynamic device
-      handling infrastructure.</para>

-      <para>The <filename>/etc/rc.d/init.d/udev</filename> initscript starts
-      <command>udevd</command>, triggers any "coldplug" devices that have
-      already been created by the kernel and waits for any rules to complete.
-      The script also unsets the uevent handler from the default of
-      <filename>/sbin/hotplug </filename>.  This is done because the kernel no
-      longer needs to call out to an external binary.  Instead
-      <command>udevd</command> will listen on a netlink socket for uevents that
-      the kernel raises.</para>
-
-      <para>The <command>/etc/rc.d/init.d/udev_retry</command> initscript takes
-      care of re-triggering events for subsystems whose rules may rely on
-      filesystems that are not mounted until the <command>mountfs</command>
-      script is run (in particular, <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>

-      (if re-triggered) should succeed the second time around.  It is
-      configured from the <filename>/etc/sysconfig/udev_retry</filename> file;
-      any words in this file other than comments are considered subsystem names
-      to trigger at retry time.  To find the subsystem of a device, use

-  <para>Linux uses a special booting facility named SysVinit that is based on a
-  concept of <emphasis>run-levels</emphasis>. It can be quite different from one
-  system to another, so it cannot be assumed that because things worked in one
-  particular Linux distribution, they should work the same in LFS too. LFS has its
-  own way of doing things, but it respects generally accepted standards.</para>
-
-  <para>SysVinit (which will be referred to as <quote>init</quote> from now on)
-  works using a run-levels scheme. There are seven (numbered 0 to 6) run-levels
-  (actually, there are more run-levels, but they are for special cases and are
-  generally not used. See <filename>init(8)</filename> for more details), and
-  each one of those corresponds to the actions the computer is supposed to
-  perform when it starts up. The default run-level is 3. Here are the
-  descriptions of the different run-levels as they are implemented:</para>
-
-<literallayout>0: halt the computer
-1: single-user mode
-2: multi-user mode without networking
-3: multi-user mode with networking
-4: reserved for customization, otherwise does the same as 3
-5: same as 4, it is usually used for GUI login (like X's <command>xdm</command> or KDE's <command>kdm</command>)
-6: reboot the computer</literallayout>

-  <para>An explanation of this initialization file is in the man page for
-  <emphasis>inittab</emphasis>.  For LFS, the key command that is run is
-  <command>rc</command>. The intialization file above will instruct
-  <command>rc</command> to run all the scripts starting with an S in the
-  <filename class="directory">/etc/rc.d/rcsysinit.d</filename> directory
-  followed by all the scripts starting with an S in the <filename
-  class="directory">/etc/rc.d/rc?.d</filename> directory where the question
-  mark is specified by the initdefault value.</para>
-
-  <para>As a convenience, the <command>rc</command> script reads a library of
-  functions in <filename class="directory">/lib/lsb/init-functions</filename>.
-  This library also reads an optional configuration file,
-  <filename>/etc/sysconfig/rc.site</filename>.  Any of the system
-  configuration file parameters described in subsequent sections can be
-  alternatively placed in this file allowing consolidation of all system
-  parameters in this one file.</para>
-
-  <para>As a debugging convenience, the functions script also logs all output
-  to <filename>/run/var/bootlog</filename>.  Since the <filename
-  class="directory">/run</filename> directory is a tmpfs, this file is not
-  persistent across boots, however it is appended to the more permanent file
-  <filename>/var/log/boot.log</filename> at the end of the boot process.</para>

-  <title>Changing Run Levels</title>
-
-  <para>Changing run-levels is done with <command>init
-  <replaceable>&lt;runlevel&gt;</replaceable></command>, where
-  <replaceable>&lt;runlevel&gt;</replaceable> is the target run-level. For example, to
-  reboot the computer, a user could issue the <command>init 6</command> command,
-  which is an alias for the <command>reboot</command> command. Likewise,
-  <command>init 0</command> is an alias for the <command>halt</command>
-  command.</para>
-
-  <para>There are a number of directories under <filename
-  class="directory">/etc/rc.d</filename> that look like <filename
-  class="directory">rc?.d</filename> (where ? is the number of the run-level) and
-  <filename class="directory">rcsysinit.d</filename>, all containing a number of
-  symbolic links. Some begin with a <emphasis>K</emphasis>, the others begin with
-  an <emphasis>S</emphasis>, and all of them have two numbers following the
-  initial letter. The K means to stop (kill) a service and the S means to start a
-  service. The numbers determine the order in which the scripts are run, from 00
-  to 99&mdash;the lower the number the earlier it gets executed. When
-  <command>init</command> switches to another run-level, the appropriate services
-  are either started or stopped, depending on the runlevel chosen.</para>
-
-  <para>The real scripts are in <filename
-  class="directory">/etc/rc.d/init.d</filename>. They do the actual work, and
-  the symlinks all point to them. K links and S links point to
-  the same script in <filename class="directory">/etc/rc.d/init.d</filename>.
-  This is because the scripts can be called with different parameters like
-  <parameter>start</parameter>, <parameter>stop</parameter>,
-  <parameter>restart</parameter>, <parameter>reload</parameter>, and
-  <parameter>status</parameter>. When a K link is encountered, the appropriate
-  script is run with the <parameter>stop</parameter> argument. When an S link
-  is encountered, the appropriate script is run with the
-  <parameter>start</parameter> argument.</para>
-
-  <para>There is one exception to this explanation. Links that start
-  with an <emphasis>S</emphasis> in the <filename
-  class="directory">rc0.d</filename> and <filename
-  class="directory">rc6.d</filename> directories will not cause anything
-  to be started. They will be called with the parameter
-  <parameter>stop</parameter> to stop something. The logic behind this
-  is that when a user is going to reboot or halt the system, nothing
-  needs to be started.  The system only needs to be stopped.</para>
