Just thought I'd post a thanks note. (just for the sake > of curiosity, could you tell me what that change might be? in layman's > terms?) Do you mean it really 'just works' now? After booting, you get the language menu and can select the proper language? Console switching works too? No problems during or after keyboard selection? In that case it could be that finally the keyboard support problem is solved :-) The change was adding an udeb with usb support on the CD and some other stuff to load the proper drivers. Could you please try an installation after RC3 is released (should be within the next few days)? No need to finish the installation, just proceed up to network configuration. Cheers, FJP
