If this is so, then yes - AltGr is far from useless. :) But I believe that this use of Alt-gr is not possible with the standard us layot. Can you confirm that you use the standard 'us' layout. Does AltGr still work if you issue the command setxkbmap us -option lv3:ralt_switch (the option is to make the right Alt work as AltGr) > I'd say high.

My personal opinion is the same as yours and not only for us but for all layouts. However it seems one of the goal of d-i is to make the questions as few as possible. I will implement in console-setup whatever is decided here. Anton Zinoviev -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
