Thanks for the help, but everything is prepared in .xinitrc

Code Sample

KEYTABLE="$(getknoppixparam.lua KEYTABLE)" DESKTOP=`cat $HOME/.desktop` # For German Keyboards if [ $KEYTABLE == "de" ]; then  xmodmap -e "clear Mod4" -e "add Mod5 = Mode_switch" & fi

I only changed us to de because I don't know where to set "KEYTABLE" to de

A trick for newbies (like me) in cases like these :
Open Beaver , type in the character you need or the whole emailadress , copy it out with "Strg-C" and then Paste it into the Browser with "Strg-V"  , you can also do this with URLs ,and not to forget this works under Windows too ,
I know this is not professional , but can be helpfull sometime
