I guess from the location of the keymaps that this is a distribution. I just recently started using UTF-8 and never worried about keymaps ,fonts and etc ; just took the defaults. Now the default gives me little blocks in my text. I have a little better understanding of the fonts now but don't fully grok the keymapping. I didn't realize you could compile a default into the kernel. What are the advantages of doing this as opposed to loading the keymap from boot scripts ? In the same vein, upgrading to linux-2.6.36 per an lfs-dev build broke the svgalib_helper module for me. I have a set of patches that have worked since 2.6.22 , but no more. Sorry to be no help; just felt like flapping my gums this AM. --- Mike H. --- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-chat FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
