I think the info is a little misleading. If the USB keyboard belongs to the architecture you want to use it on (e.g. PC keyboard on a PC), I think you should choose "select keymap from arch list". Just try it. You probably want to select qwertz/German/Standard/latin1 or latin1-nodeadkeys. best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 ICQ #17079270 Registered Linux User #267976 http://www.andreas-janssen.de/debian-tipps.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
