I've done that many times, options were and are set correctly, but no
effect on LANG, LANGUAGE & a couple others. And I've "export LANG=en_US"
and such as root with zero effect that I can see as the user.

Yes see a previous msg about dpkg-reconfigure tzdata, worked exactly for
the time displayed as localtime.
These things don't have a clock, so they use fake-hwclock, so I turned on
ntp.conf logging and that looks like its doing well. But since its not
pestering the level one servers, just debians, I left that be. The diff
is likely measured in micro-seconds.
Now, if I could just figure out which of 262 hits that apt-file find
reports to install pdftex from, maybe I could build the realtime kernels
docs, theres a failure in building the networking.pdf because whats
installed apparently isn't compatible, but 40+ other docs that do use
it, build just fine. And the makefile does not compress vmlinux to
vmlinuz. I've not determined the syntax for that, nor to make the initrd
file. The plain make -j3 after a make clean is about 85 minutes, but I
think its making some stuff not needed. This is working not on the sd
card, but on a 120GB SSD as a work drive. Plugged into a usb-sata
adapter, its around 6x faster than a 7200 rpm rusty glass drive.
But so much stuff is different from x86 it gets confusing. I got the
proper command and made it a 1 line script to add the missing gateway to
the routeing tables, so its on the net ok now if I run that after a
reboot. That helps considerably.
Thanks Alan.
