Puppy in German? Problems with keyboard mapping!

#1 Post by wolpertinger »

Dear Barry,

Congratulations! I'm just checking Puppy for the first time, and it looks very promising. A full-fledged Linux with all necessary apps screwed down to fit into a considerable small amount of RAM - fantastic!

Unfortunately, there are still a few issues.

1. I am a German. Are there any chances to set up a German Puppy (which certainly would mean to create an entirely different ISO image for installation because all the apps should have - in my case - a German interface as well, I suppose ...) ?

2. Even with the keyboard maps in the current English-only installation German umlauts (

Hello,

umlaute should work in gtk2-based apps like Mozilla or Abiword.

If not, try de-latin-nodeadkeys.map.

I just uploaded the editor "adie", that displays them,too:

Textmaker works, too.

So what not works:
gtk1-applications and the console.
Maybe the reason for the console is "busybox", I will try that on my Linux-Mandrake next week.

What really is strange:
In beaver, Umlaute work in the font-selection-dialog, but not in the editor itself :shock:

With international menues I had no success yet.
XFE has german menues on Mandrake, on Puppy not.
So I will have to try other locale-settings next week.

Mark
