I successfully installed Debian 4.0 / Etch on my Apple PowerBook G4. I managed to setup my (external/USB) Apple keyboard with a Swiss-German keymap. However, I could not figure out how to produce an '@' symbol... in Mac OS X I press 'Option-g' to type an '@', but that does not work in Linux / Debian. Any hints?Umm, did you try the obvious one? SHIFT-2 (the 2 above the qwerty keys)?Yes, I did. On the Apple keyboard, Shift-2 is mapped to something else than '@' (propably '"', but I am not sure because at the moment I'm in
That sounds like a "minimum keyboard", IOW, one which uses the shift key just to set/clear bits in the ASCII code. Old ADM terminals were like that. The ADM-1 was, anyway. I don't recall the key now. But from looking at the ASCII chart, I suggest you try SHIFT-` (that's SHIFT-GRAVE_ACCENT, which may be below the tilde (~) on your keyboard). On such keyboards, SHIFT just clears bit 0x20.

You have found the bank of Larn. I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you. I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
