What language were you installing in?  I'm not seeing this in the current tree
with an English install, but it could well be language specific.

Comment 2 Derek Tattersall 2001-07-22 21:57:05 UTC

The original install was in en_US for RHL 7.1
The upgrade did not change that parameter.  It was pretty uglu; contact me
directly if you want some special handling.

This defect is considered SHOULD-FIX for Fairfax.

Comment 4 Jeremy Katz 2001-07-31 22:07:22 UTC

Hmm... still haven't seen this here.  Have you seen it with beta3?

Comment 5 Derek Tattersall 2001-08-01 00:54:03 UTC

The box character problem existed in beta 1 and beta 2.  I can't
reroduce it in beta 3.
