User Feedback :: DSL is exactly what I need except ONE thing !!!

Hello,

I'm a french who discovered recently DSL (few day's ago :cool:

)

But I'm a problem with the french keyboard.

Can you help mu please ?

I download the embeded version of DSL in this site :

http://ftp.belnet.be/packages/damnsmalllinux/current/

dsl-embedded.zip

But I don't think that is the last version of DSL (DSL 2.0)

Thank's a lot :;):

Hi, go there

http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....98;st=0

and you'll find the address where to download from and all the comments regarding this release, I did one about the Fr keyboard and the conclusion is Fr-latin 1 is the best suited for French France (only 2 little blocking points that you can easily overcome)

Hi,

I have a similar problem but with Spanish. At he beginning I tried to install Debian Sarge in an IBM 300GL but it stopped mounting the cdrom and though about DSL. I wanted to use DSL to display pdfs and I was surprised when characters where not readable. I though that it was a font problem and I followed another post and configured XFree86 . I also upgraded the system to Debian Sarge but without success. Moreover I tried to apt-get install xpdf, but I found more problems. Finally, after reading this post, I think that I can have the same problem with Spanish. Any idea or solution? I think that DSL is fantastic, but it is not very useful for me until it is spanish compatible. I am sorry.

hi winux
first of all tx for pointing to latin-1 solution for french keyboard

i ve finally got "| @" WORKING!!!!!!!

but still lack of most "SHIFT+ foobar" command in dillo , BEAVER,command line
so no "/ §? ..." for me
and (i m still a linoob) no "éè¨ ...."

ps:
i have to point that i m using VNC to acces my DSL BOX
maybe VNC not passing the good typo

cause there is no problem when i get connect to the BOX via ssh
but then i got no GUI...hard for a noobie ;-)

anyway I LOVE MYDSL BOX making me learn linux

greatings!!
