HI up. I'm a spanish user. I do love DamnSmallLinux. I'm using it and spreading it from v.1.3. There's no problem if DSL developing group decide not to implement the spanish keyboard support into the distro but I would like to know how to do it. Unless we get that bug, the distro is nearly useless for a spanish user.

I've been searching and searching with no answer.

Just to know it, in spanish, like in other languages, we NEED to difference "de" and "dé", and so on. The "ñ" letter, @ properly placed... Now, DSL is very embarrasing only because of that.

Thanks in advance.

What keymap are you selecting?
What keyboard key sequence typically would produce that character?

going slightly off here, but language remains a large obstacle for seamless linux usage. Personally i have no problem with english, but sometimes I just gotta visit one or two foreign websites, and they don't show up right. Is there a *general* method for implementing that?

Into the Spanish keyboard (like in others) The "@", "#" and the € appear pressing at the same time "AltGr" + 2  ( for @) , 3 (for #)  and E (for the monetary symbol).

  The Spanish keyboard has got a key similar to the "apostrophe" in "I'm": it is the accent. The accent is appliable to the vowel letters. So we get "á é í ó ú".e.g.: "My name is Jesús". The "Tilde" Key or accent Key gives us the way of pronouncing the word.
   Another mistake is with letter "Ñ" (like in "España"), symbols ¡'¿? and many others. The keyboard is configured in English. For example now I'm typing with debian-sid-hdinstalled linux and I have got no problems. Do you know what I mean?
   Each time I start with dsl I type like that. "dsl lang=es" at the beginning, in xsetup.sh also select "es es", usually it is preselected. But It doesn't works correctly.
   Thanks in advance. But I don't understand what you mean. Trying to answer you, I'm having problems with the accent key, the €, the @... and so on. "AltGr"+Key

I am running with the es keymap.
Yikes, I don´t know what is supposed to happen...

But I do get Ñ,ñ,¿?

¿Is there some specific application that does not?
