I loaded the correct keymap for my keyboard with "loadkeys de-latin1". Most of the keys are working correctly. My problem is now that some characters (like the curly brace) can only be typed by using the alt-key. But if I press the alt-key and 8 for example then the console changes from this: livecd root # To this: (arg: 8) And I don't know what this means. Is there anything I can do to get the alt-key working? Thanks in advance. Simon -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
