As DSL doesn't include locales, setting LANG to anything other than C or POSIX causes errors. I made a little patch to correct that, it also makes the default keymap for finnish fi-latin9. Here

Apply from /etc/init.d with patch -p0

I am verz impressed bz the speed of DSL, even run in embedded mode. For now I use it like that from a 128 Kb USB stick, and for trzing to learn Linux, in VirtualBox under Windoye (I have had problems with the partition setting&changing but now its just a file for the hosting window$).

Sorrz to ask a noob question, but since several dazs I am trzing to convince DSL to use a german kezboard. That quote is the closest thing I could find to mz problem (and I even read the 78 pages forum help thread and as manz googled and wiki pages), but I do not understand where to put it or what to do.
(and sorrz for the switched Z and Y, thats what the kezboard does  :)

Bz the waz, this is not urgent, but a little help with that would be appreciated.

Keep up that fine work!

Oh, just boot with "dsl lang=de" to make it have a german keyboard :)

Thanks a lot!
I finally can use my german keyboard (after finding out how to enter the "lang=de" and after finding out where the  **** the "=" key is located on the US keyboard.

In my embedded (QEMU) version, I have managed to have it too now (& everytime at DSL bootup).

Since it is rather convenient not to have to edit the DSL boot parms every time when I'm booting it, I was looking (with emelFM & Beaver) where such an appropriate file could be found...
I have found something like the boot up menu in KNOPPIX/boot/grub/menu.lst, but since it says there
"kernel /boot/linux24 /root=/dev/hda2 ..."
while I'm using hda1, so I think it only seems to be an example...
Anyone any hint for me?

Maybe I have another misconception in thinking, since DSL is running from Ramdisk, I might be allowed to overwrite hda1 from which the Ramdisk has been loaded (ok, with sudo I expect, although I have to look up somewhere what the password is - but I guess it is written somewhere in the docs or forum).

By the way - I have had followed a wiki entry, so I have 60 MB hda1, 1 GB swap hda2 and about 4 GB hda3 for developing purposes.
(And I am a Linux newby, but am not coming from windoze although I am uncomfortingly using it... I am a mainframe assembler programmer)

You can edit the file /cdrom/boot/grub/menu.lst as root to change that.

I'm not sure that I understand this question completely but you don't need a password for user dsl to do sudo. User dsl by default has permissions for all with sudo.

If I have misunderstood, please ask again.
