Hi all, just getting started with puredyne and had a couple of questions/comments.
Sorry if these are noobish things -- I know what I'm doing with computers in general, but haven't done much with Linux before. 1. Might be nice, on the live USB page, to have directions for a persistent bootable stick. I need to tweak the environment a bit and I'd like to do this in the USB environment before committing to a full install. (Plus, not everything is working yet -- d@@@ realtek wifi) and I'd like to see how far I can get with fixing those things before blowing away the original winxp on the machine.) 2. Is there a way to add a completely new, custom keyboard layout? I tried editing /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us to add the new layout and then editing ../rules/xorg.lst, but I couldn't choose the new variant in the keyboard control panel (it wasn't available). I can do it by replacing the definition of an existing variant, but I'm curious if there is a less brutal way. 3. The alt keys to access menu options are not working on this machine (Samsung N130). In gedit, e.g., alt-F types F into the document instead of opening the file menu. The N130's keyboard gets identified as a ThinkPad model -- suggestions for a different one to use? Thanks.
