Hi, maqybe you try this: 1) edit /etc/inputrc: # To allow the use of 8bit-characters like the german umlauts, comment out # the line below. However this makes the meta key not work as a meta key, # which is annoying to those which don't need to type in 8-bit characters. set convert-meta off 2) run dpkg-reconfigure localeconf 3) run dpkg-reconfigure locales 4) change your language settings in kde Oliver -- ... don't touch the bang bang fruit -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
