Author change language chosen during installation

Hello,

I would like to change the language from French (current - chosen
during install) to English. Which modules/files will need to be
upgraded/reinstalled (I don't want to have to reinstall from scratch
again)?

Also, I need to know the URLs of some good (frequently updated)
non-free repositories (including nVidia drivers). Anybody?

Thank you,
David

No need to reinstall anything. Just try "dpkg-reconfigure -plow
locales" to select which locales you can use, and which will be the
default locale. You sould prob. use UTF8 encodings.

Just add "non-free" to your deb-lines in "/etc/apt/source.list"

Good luck
