maybe we should work on alternative isos for other languages, simply changing the help files, the menu, and a few other things including keyboard setup and special charachters.
for bilingual folks it would not be too hard

I already made a "hellenic.tar.gz" extension that can turn the keyboard to write in Hellenic(Greek) in OpenOffice applications under some fonts (like Times) and back to english using xmodmap.
Now i will (maybe for a long time) try to turn the whole DSL to Greek, based on the work of Knoppel(Greek Knoppix translation). So a question. Is the font used under Fluxbox able to display greek characters?

If you have the greek fonts, try placing them in your
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc directory,
then run update-fonts-dir, and see if you get the fonts
available to you. ( look in the fonts.dir file in the directory listed above )

If you see them there, highlight/cut-n-paste the one you want
into your /home/dsl/.xtdeskrc  file on the font-name line.

Then exit X, restart X, and see if your screen font reads like you want..

If that works, editing your /home/dsl/.fluxbox/styles files should be easy as well..
