[SLE] keyboard oddities with 6.4
I had the eval of 6.4 running with no trouble then tried to install full box set an i am having two problems. One is with yast2 giving me an error of i need 2.66 gigs more space on / to install to packages i have selectiive. I have a 6gig drive so i know I should have rooom. this is after partioning an hitting next, i gave / 5 gigs an home abt 800 megs. I went an used yast1 to install an it went fine. but in the console some the characters on keyboard are not the right ones. example is the z key gives me a y an the y key gives me the z. also the . key on numkeypad gives me a ,. i thought this was a bit odd never had this happen to me before. anyone have a suggerstion on what to do. when I run xwindows all the characters seem to work fine. jack Jack Malone East Texas Lighthouse for the Blind dba Horizon Industries jack@malone.tyler.com 903-595-3444 fax 903-595-3447 -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
