Installation is a one-time process that ends as soon as the system is installed. Once your system boots you can edit your settings as desired.

Okay, so basically your problem is that your USB keyboard does not respect your keyboard settings, right? You have set a Swiss layout and you get an English one. > 2.)

I guess you could do it in the same way but the file has to be placed under "~/.config/autostart" and having a ".desktop" file format, for example: [Desktop Entry] Name=fix for k340 Encoding=UTF-8 Version=1.0 Exec=setxkbmap ch I have not tested, though :-? > Anyway, also this is not a "clean" solution.

Sure, if this is a known problem I would rather report it for others can also benefit from the fix :-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
