Nope! I know that I definitely did not!  I did notice that and wondered what 
the point of it is (would it make it easy for me to do umlauts and accents 
and things? That'd be nice, if so), but as it's not something I've done any 
other time I've installed Linux on a PC, and as this is supposed to be my 
everyday PC (so I can play with the other one and NOT screw up my internetty 
stuff, which used to happen frequently, whilst I've been prodding around 
trying to learn Linux. Fun, but can be trying...), I didn't. I mean, as I 
understand it, Unicode is to help deal more easily with non-Roman alphabets, 
but quite how it works that we have several kinds of coding available and 
have to choose... I don't really understand how that works. 

Anyway, glad to have been able to be of some help!

Take care,

Esme
