Yupp it is, this row in the /etc/rc5.d/S99local made it for me:

loadkeys /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/se-latin1.kmap.gz

I know this only affects runlevel 5, and maybe there is a better way to do it. But for now this works for me.

Sigh, i cant remember how many times this post i wrote a year ago has been mentioned:

http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....l=swed%

Why not fix the bug instead, as mentioned here:

http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....;t=4185

Have forgiveness about my complaints, but it is so boring to hear abot this bug all the time. A Swedish pc magazine distributed a CD with mixed linux distros on it and all i heard from the people i recomended dsl to was just "swedish keyboard do not work"  instead of all the impressing stuff about dsl that makes me love it.

Take care/

I would appreciate a hint as to how to get a keyboard layout that puts the slash on the slash key without having to re-compile anything...

.... I think I've tried all the ENGLISH type designations (except the right one)  but the slash is still an upper case 7....

from the control panel I make a choice .... light up OK... press enter.... slash is still above the 7..........

Thanks

By default, the keymap is set to 104key US (qwerty).

What kind of keyboard are you using? (brand, model)

Is it nonstandard?

Even on my very strange keyboard (I have to remap like 13 keys every install) the / key is in the correct place.

It's a run of the mill IBM keyboard.... works with the default in KNOPPIX...DEBIAN ...REDHAT...GENTOO

Of the many choices displayed .... which SPECIFIC one is the
"standard" , english , forward slash on the marked  key (not the upper case 7)???

Thanks
