Thank a lot for your hints.
Aim now works. The qwerty problem is not a serious issue since the
system will be rigged with a korean keyboard. I am doing the
administration only.
Openoffice does print korean letters and does offer the beakmuk fonts
for textprocesing.
There is only one problem left. The openoffice menus are not working. I
still get "???" on all menues. Probably the right font missing? But
which font do i have to install? I have tried the OO1.0 upstream
version, the same problem.
