I'm highly confused.......

I'm using version 0.6.3
First Problem - when i go to install to my hard-drive and use the enhanced version, it throws up error asking if i'd like to continue with standard install, i answered yes. I would like the enhanced install.

second problem - I am behind proxy, and have added proxy to wget config file. No Change. Still can't connect.

when you do a hd install what is the size of the installation???

Anyway I couln't find any answers to these questions so far, please help

Using linux 4 years and still a noob........cheers

I like the control pannel. It is a good idea. But how can I change the keyboard to be effective? In the applications I used after trying to change the keyboard to 'es', it still worked as the kb by deffect (I assume it is 'us').
Thanks for the distro: it is very god!

From the developer's website for the Kdrive Xservers...

Quote

At the time of writing, the KDrive server only has support for a generic Linux keyboard; the keyboard mapping is copied from the Linux kernel tables at startup. As X11 has richer keyboard information than Linux, and furthermore KDrive's mapping tables are incomplete, the results are not always perfect; I have found it necessary to fix my keyboard using xmodmap.

I had originally thought that once installed to hard drive, it was a simple matter of installing the `locales' package. I was incorrect. Apparently, xmodmap must be used every time the Xserver is restarted to remap the keyboard. Perhaps somebody could write a script for this?

Hi! The way I use to change the keyboard is at boot time, telling at prompt "dsl lang=es", before the sequence of booting starts. And it works. For those that have the same problem as me... :;):

In the other hand, the use I give the distro is as a tool. Because is able to read all the filesystems, and provides the most important functions a OS must have. I only insist in that it would be better with a better CD burner. I cannot do it with the actual one. :angry:
