Hi Ashish,

You can install Remington Hindi layout using...

1) You can extract the latest hi-remington.mim from the devel rpm of
Fedora - download m17n-db-hindi-version-rpm from
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/

2) Copy the keymap to /usr/share/m17n and restart your scim with
"scim-restart" or do a gdm-restart.

For more information on how to enable language support for input
methods, please have a look at
http://www.makuchaku.info/blog/enabling-support-for-your-indic-language-in-fc-5-and-beyond

Current implementation of hi-remington has a problem that it yet does
not exactly types like a typewriter - to type चि you need to type च
first and then ि (as per current keymap). But as per the typewriter,
this input order should be reversed.

Upstream developer Takahashi-san has already worked upon a solution
for this & we will be including the correct keymaps very soon.

Let me know if you have any further concerns :)

Regards,
Makuchaku
