This was based on the historical deployment to the world of an IBM PS2 where we saw the first 101 Enhanced Keyboard(US) where the only country to use a different keyboard was the UK. Outside the US, NO English speaking country will accept a US dictionary. If this language and keyboard selection is not correct in the first instance the whole resulting O/S is unusable. The test is an easy one. - Plug a UK Keyboard into any US Keyboard Installation and boot. Gentleman, This is not rocket Science - All I am advocating here is to remove the linked Language Module to be equal to the Keyboard type. By all means retain the default US Keyboard, but let the rest of the English speaking countries outside the US a functionally acceptable dictionary. If this change is not part of the Market Penetration of Linux - Please feel free to dismiss all the countries where this 'logic' does not work, and close this bug as wontfix - I am astounded at the need for clarification or justification of this very small but highly consequential 'Logic"? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
