Odd. Which machine/kernel is that? This from a test I did a while back: $ cat /proc/hardware Model: Macintosh IIx System Memory: 8192K $ cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.19.1-m68k ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 3.3.6) #12 Thu Jan 11 16:35:44 EST 2007 > there fore I assume that debconf or whatever installation / upgrade / > reinstallation will not pick the keymap correctly. since /proc is not > regular file you cannot change its contents, unless you know how it is > set up ( I don't) ? I don't get it. The consoles on my macs work without loading any keymap at all. And what can you infer about the keymap from "Macintosh" anyway? Even powerbooks are going to say "Macintosh Powerbook" in /proc/hardware. -f -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
