<p><strong>From Axel Harvey on 08 Sep 1998 </strong></p>
<!-- begin body -->
<p><strong>Further to my verbose text of last night. I realized after spouting
away that accent and symbol keys will not elicit any response from
the shell command line (except a rude beep) but they do work
perfectly well in text-receiving functions like <tt>pico</tt> and <tt>pine</tt>. I,
poor sap, had been modifying and reloading my test keymap, then
seeing if the keys worked from the command line...!??!
</strong></p>
<p><strong>I should have mentioned that the <a href="http://www.redhat.com">RedHat</a> distribution has a French
keyboard which works, but I don't find the layout very useful. I
shall send them my own version of a French keyboard as soon as I
have refined it sufficiently.
</strong></p>
<blockquote><IMG SRC="../../gx/dennis/bbub.gif" ALT="(!)" height="28" width="50" align="bottom">Yep.
</blockquote>
<p><strong><IMG SRC="../../gx/dennis/qbub.gif" ALT="(?)" height="28" width="50" align=""bottom">I still don't understand my problem with X installation.
</strong></p>
<blockquote><IMG SRC="../../gx/dennis/bbub.gif" ALT="(!)" height="28" width="50" align="bottom">Have you tried the suggestions I already gave?
</blockquote>
<p><strong><IMG SRC="../../gx/dennis/qbub.gif" ALT="(?)" height="28" width="50" align=""bottom">Are you plagued by questions from stupid guys who could solve their
own mysteries with one more hour of futzing?
</strong></p>
<blockquote><IMG SRC="../../gx/dennis/bbub.gif" ALT="(!)" height="28" width="50" align="bottom">That's not stupidity. Hours of "futzing" is experience.
I personally feel that the hours of "futzing" that I've
done should benefit others besides myself.
</blockquote>
<blockquote>However, I am plagued by questions that are more readily
answered in
<a href="http://www.linuxresources.com/LDP/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX-3.html#ss3.1">HOWTO</a>'s and even some questions that I can
only categorize as <EM>stupid</EM> (like phreak/cracker wannabe's
and jobhunting AS/400 specialists).
