Amazingly changing the manufacturing data didn't do the job but changing /etc/sysconfig/keyboard did. Wow! Now I have Nepali input system. Thank you all.
Now I need to find a place to change default locale to ne_NP, so that the default interface is in Nepali. There is an option to do this in manufacturing data but it would be better if it can be done using file. -basanta On Tue, Nov 12, 2013 at 6:22 PM, Walter Bender <walter.ben...@gmail.com>wrote: > Makes things much easier.
