Created attachment 105606 [details] Screenshot of the issue I've attached a screenshot of the error. As you can see, it does not work.
comment 2: your terminal's character coding is set to ISO-8859-1, not UTF-8 (when I set gnome-terminal to ISO-8859-1, I can reproduce your screenshot exactly).
Well then, here's the question. If this is an issue with the terminal encoding (and console encoding, BTW), and these encodings are what the install selected for me specifically, then should utf8 not have been selected as my gnome-terminal encoding? and perhaps a different console charset? In other words, rather than this being NOTABUG, should it not fall on one of the other components, or on the installer?
comment 4: the default out-of-the-box configuration for the RHEL 3 standard terminal (gnome-terminal) for all Western European locales /is/ UTF-8. You or a third party application must've changed it inadvertantly, or you upgraded from an older installation.
