Hi All ,

Very important messag : I use a HD DSL system.
But when you will remaster the DSL CD than is this also a possible solution

I was searching a easy (!!!) solution to start DSL with the good keyboard layout.

So i found the following solution :

- locate the file us.kmap.gz (the standard US keyboard layout)
- locate the file azerty.kmap.gz (The keyboard layout that i need ) You must locate youre KMAP .

An other posting learned me to do a CP (copy)

So do
cp /usr/share/keymaps/i386/azerty/azerty.kmap.gz mapname.kmap.gz" /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/us.kmap.gz

Reboot you're computer

I'm not a Linux Guru so if i'm wrong let me know

Regards ,
Guido

P.S. A good reason to let the world know you're solutions is that if you forgot them, you can find it on the forum

Quit X (ctrl-alt-backspace)
type "loadmaps uk.kmap.gz"
type "startx"

Actually, it's:
exit X

Code Sample

$ sudo loadkeys uk

Code Sample

$ startx

Hi,

Quit X (ctrl-alt-backspace)
type "loadmaps uk.kmap.gz"
type "startx"

...and that did it for me.

HTH,

Hi everyone

I've got the same problem w/ a French keyboard. The shift key is not working so I can't get the important " @" sign.

Browsing throughout the forum, I've tried 2 suggested things

1- the one here recommended: "loadmaps fr.kmap.gz". The answer was "loadmaps command not found" Prof gave the answer to this

2- Then I went to: /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig
I've tried to change language="us" into "fr" BUT it did not operate, I couldn't make the modification because the file is READ ONLY , even though I opened it w/ a ROOT Console. How can I go through this???

Whoever could bring me assistance would help me to love this lite linux package.

Thx in advance and Happy New Year
