For 10.30, HP-UX will support ignition of multiple languages
on a new system. /usr/sbin/geocustoms
provides a multi-lingual user interface to enable any European language
user to manage the language configuration of a 10.30 system. set_parms
calls GeoCustoms when the default system language has not been predetermined.
If you order the European option, HP-UX must find out from you whether
to use English, French, German, Italian, Spanish or Swedish. GeoCustoms
determines the language through a localized interface that takes
the international customer quickly into the remaining system configuration
screens. Networking configuration questions are presented by set_parms
(when applicable) in the chosen language for navigating GeoCustoms.
Therefore, for 10.30, set_parms
and login will
come up in the correct language.
Compatibility |
 |
auto_parms
and set_parms
are delivered with GeoCustoms. Syntax rules for edits of /etc/rc.config.d/LANG
and /etc/dt/config/Xconfig
have been followed.
Performance |
|
GeoCustoms only appears automatically at first boot on systems
where the language choice is ambiguous; therefore, there is no performance
loss for single language users.
GeoCustoms quickly walks you through a process that otherwise
might be overwhelming. This is a performance improvement.
If you select "English (Universal)", also known as "C", the
performance of some applications may be slower than if the language
"English (SET_NULL_LOCALE)"
was used.
Alternatives |
|
To prevent GeoCustoms from running, make sure that a valid
locale is assigned to _hp_locale
in /tmp/install.vars
(if the file exists).
Obsolescence |
|
Instant Ignition no longer includes the 9.x tools known as
datebook, xcal,
xdialog, and
xhpcalc.
