This is to the list, Not Noses. I was suprised to read Noses challenge my statement that there were 2+ German keyboard layouts, but I thought maybe he/she knew more than me, so I quoted my location, experience, & sites, so he/she could do the same, & whoever seemed best informed could learn from the other. Noses then avoided stating who, what, & where he/she was, with what access experience to multiple physical German keyboards from various manufacturers. Noses neither made differential comment between cp850 V ISO & how either might relate to DIN (or one or other might _be_ DIN), nor to the question of which was preferable IE most expected & preferred by normal German colleagues & customers, (irrespective of what FreeBSD, ISO, or DIN might call `standard). Noses' Noise has shed no useful light, but for first hand info: cd /usr/src/share/syscons/keymaps; ( ls -l *german* ; diff -c german* )|more majordomo@de.freebsd.org for people with access to German hardware etc. Julian - Julian Stacey Unix Consultant - Munich Germany http://bim.bsn.com/~jhs/ Ihr Rauchen => mein allergischer Kopfschmerz !
