Re: American keyboard



Hello Theo,
Many thanks for the reply.
I have two other machines on my system which both started off using Woody, and were later upgraded to Sarge. They both got the correct keymap for my British keyboard.

The problem arose when I tried to install Sarge (initially) on a third machine using a DVD from Linux Magazine. I know that the installer is a new one, but it seems odd that it should have slipped up in this way.
I am sure it must be me who is at fault !

There are indeed packages available to do this, but by editing or changing individual keys. Surely there is still a correct UK English locale with the appropriate keymap still ?

I wonder how bilingual people get on. Can they switch between differing alphabets ?

I'll keep looking !

Thanks for your help.

Geoff

Can some-one point me to the appropriate "Fabulous Manual" (as in "Read The") ?


The program is called Kxkb (but probably maskerades under a more descriptive name) and manifests itself with a small flag in the control bar. There is a manual for it.
