Hi everyone

I'm back  :laugh: !!! I'm very happy to have retrieved this forum, because I lost the URL. Everything's fine then.

Well well well, for the ones who might remember, I came here a long time ago (DSL 2.2 RC1!!) with a problem which has never been solved. I dropped it for a while, then I came back to DSL that I love, but the problem is still there  :( . Some kind of disappointement to me. Hope it can be fixed.

Let me remind you:

I'm in France so I've got a French keyboard. I booted on DSL live CD 4.2.2 after having entered dsl lang=fr

Actually I've got an azerty keyboard, but not quite French because I don't have the special letters, you know, the ones with something on top or below, such as é-è-ç-à-ù-ô, ...

Has any French people faced this problem recently? did he find a solution? how did he do if he got through.

That's it: simple to state, not so simple to solve (from my experience !). Any kind of help will be more than welcome, Thx in advance.

Anyway, I wish you a happy nex year
