The 2.0 kernel already has support for unicode, but the main problem is the kbd package, which is a bit limitted in this respect. You may want to have a look at console-tools, at sunsite in linux/system/keyboards/, to get better command-line support for unicode. I wrote a little primer about unicode, which is included in console-tools. -- Yann Dirson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Stop making M$-Bill richer & richer, alt-email: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | support Debian GNU/Linux: debian-email: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | more powerful, more stable ! http://www.a2points.com/homepage/3475232 | Check <http://www.debian.org/> -- E-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST.
