Hi,

you have to have the german CDE installed. If you get an german or english CDE is determined by the LOCALE environment variable. As described in the thread mentioned by Peter.

As far as i know, you don't get a german HP-UX. All you get is a german CDE.

If needed set the keyboard layout to a german keybord in the /etc/kbdlang. For a german keyboard this should look like:

PS2_DIN_German_Euro

Hope this helps

Regards Stefan

HP-UX (SERVERNAME) B.11.00 U 9000/800 575756517 Lizenz fÃ¼r unbegrenzt viele Benutzer

Hi Ralf,

this is also depending on your locale setting. Go to your first server and do a

locale

Check the result. Then go to your second server and do the same. You will see the difference. While one servers locale should be set to "C" the other servers locale should be set to "de_DE.iso88591"

You can set your locale settings temporary on the command line and see the difference. Do for example

export LC_ALL=de_DE.iso88591

and see the difference. Check the man locale pages for more information.

Hope this helps

Regards Stefan
