Hi i´ve made a hdinstall of dsl and then i used the command "loadkeys sv_latin1" but when i restart the computer i have to type the command "Loadkeys sv_latin1" again. How do i save the language settings i´ve made?
thanx for you answers.

in the file /etc/lilo.conf there is the append line, put there lang=xx where xx is your language, and then run lilo.
Do this as superuser.

tnx but i can´t save the file even though im superuser! =( i open the file with scite. Shall it be "lang=se" or "loadkeys sv_latin1" ?

If the command loadkeys sv_latin1 works then the easiest way is to use /opt/bootlocal.sh. Place that exact command in that script. I made /opt/bootlocal.sh so that it would work regardless of the installation type of DSL.

can´t save the file bootlocal.sh either. im superuser why doesnt it work??? btw can i use this in bootlocal.sh: /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/ loadkeys se_latin1

because i have to be in the qwertyfolder to use the loadkeys command.

Works fine here - are you really root, or could there be a problem with the hd-install (the access rights should be -rwxr-xr-x)?
