"""Is there anyone using NIC Linux with KDE. It is the default OS for Kerala
Police. One of the policestation near me requires a small training session
on how to use malayalam as well as net configuring in BSNL.  I went there
yesterday found KDE desktop , I am a regular gnome user found it difficult
to configure things. Pls help"""


Hey. OK. i have confiugured BSNL internet in my local police station.. it
was bit cranky on first touch. the command line option dint work well. but
there is a GUI tool.. u just  fire up the KDE menu and go to NICLINUX tab
and internet tools and u will find an option for configuring INTERNET,..
thats the workable option.. NICLinux is the retouched  version of Knoppix..
so we have ll in on box, and for the fonts.. go for system settings or u may
need install AjnaliOld lipi or meera ( the best fonts for malayalam)...
