Details:

the utility yes has some troubles to handle differents languages , for
example, in a GNU/linux system with locales setted to es_ES this line fails.

# yes | mkfs.ext3 << more options>>

the line is in one script in this post :
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=20385

the problem ocurrs when I call these line, mkfs expects the character "S" to
continue but yes generates the character "Y" ...
