Description of problem: If I do a minimal installation using GUI, I end up in a system with en_US.UTF-8 locale. If I do the same using text mode, I end up in a system with POSIX locale. That doesn't seem right, and intentional. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): smoke12 anaconda 18.37.8 (what about using just major.minor instead of major.minor.revision? it's freaking hard to remember) How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install in text mode ("text" boot option) 2. type "locale"
Three digit numbers are used for stabilization branches, like for F18 beta/final and for RHEL. Two digit numbers are used all the rest of the time.
I have a patch ready and approved, so if you still want this to F18, I can push it.
This issue can be fixed post-install be editing /etc/locale.conf, setting LANG="en_US.UTF-8" and rebooting.
Tested with 19 Beta TC3. Both text and graphical install show en_US.UTF-8 locale.
