you'll recall that I said (I hope) that I don't use the Live CD, so I've no idea how to configure it. I've no idea how to check which keyboard is selected, but the locale is in 'printev' - often only LC_ALL is used. I used to have a genuine US keyboard from my first PC (I think that was one of hte reasons it was so cheap), which moved to my first LFS machine as I upgraded, so I was semi-familiar with the layout even before I got my G5 mac with usb. In my experience, people occasionally key ' when they should key `, but your problem sounds unusual. Best of luck with the reboot. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
