Side question while reading this bug report: Would this make sense to change the es.kmap and la-latin1.kmap keymaps from console-data (which are used at the console, and during D-I) accordingly: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/debian/console-data/console-data-1.03/keymaps/i386/qwerty> grep -i tilde es.kmap ! Spanish keymap, note the spanish IBM keyboard lacks an ascitilde (~), I ! have used ALT-Gr 4 as per IBM/AIX and some sun keyboards. ascitilde is also keycode 5 = four dollar asciitilde keycode 13 = exclamdown questiondown asciitilde keycode 39 = +ntilde +Ntilde shift alt keycode 43 = Meta_asciitilde [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/debian/console-data/console-data-1.03/keymaps/i386/qwerty> grep -i tilde la-latin1.kmap keycode 27 = plus asterisk asciitilde keycode 39 = ntilde Ntilde
