Other Help Topics :: boot with the right keyboard from live-cd

well, after searching the forum. it seems that i must edit /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig
now the problem is how to reflect the changes inside the file it's extracted from, to be able to replace it with the edited version. all that without partitioning hard disk.
any clue how to do this ?

i have been searching to and found and other post:
keymaps

if you type lang=fr at the bootpompt ( or change in isolinux.cnf)
and add: "loadkeys fr" to bootlocal.sh

you wil get a french keyboardlayout
i tried loadkeys fr and then i got azerty

and where is bootlocal.sh located ?
i didn't find it...
or is it a file that i have to create myself ?
if it is, where should i place it ?

? ? ?

1. did the "loadkeys fr" work?
2. did the lang=fr work?

bootlocal.sh is in /opt
bootlocal.sh is run where DSL startup.
if you change bootlocal.sh you have to put its name in /home/dsl/filetool.lst and use backup/restore.

there are plenty of post in the forums that explain how, filetool.lst, backup/restore works or you can "read the manual" from DSL Control Panel.

well lang=fr did work,
but my purpose was to have a french keyboard from the start
(before typing cheatcode that is)
so that i could type cheat code with ease (not having to guess where is what)
in this case i don't see how helpfull the restore option can be...
but i perhaps miss some knowledge here

however thanks for your help, i learn a lot from your answers
