Yes, that was something that must have slipped by SuSE. They forgot to have it ask you during the install what keyboard layout you like. It always defaults to the German one where y and z are switched. I assume this can really drive a non-German nuts especially if they never typed on a German keyboard. I hope SuSE will have this fixed for their next eval-iso. It's especially annoying if your root password which you set during install contains any of the characters which are switched. Then you sit there type the password (and as it doesn't show on the screen) you wonder like hell. =) mk

To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: [SLE] extremely weird install problem : y -> z Date: Fri, 25 Aug 2000 10:35:27 -0400 Hi, I had this generic motherboard with the via chipset and award bios. It is a coppermine PIII.
If I install from the 6.4 cdrom, booting from the cdrom, with NUMLOCKS ON enabled in bios, the screen output confuses "z" and "y" In other words, if I type "yast" the system runs yast, but echos "zast" to the terminal window.
If I install from cdrom, boot from floppy, and turn NUMLOCKS OFF in bios, there is no problem.
Has anyone have an explanation? The motherboard vendor said the vis chipset was designed for windows, and it may be causing this.
Any clues out there?
