Automatic Keyboard Layout

**tero** · 09-13-2006, 09:54 AM

Automatic keyboard layout configuration in Knoppix would remove the last manual step in starting Knoppix. I wrote Wheretero to do just that.

Wheretero determines the country where the local computer is. This allows automatic keyboard layout configuration for live-CDs.

Would someone like to remaster Knoppix to work with Wheretero?

For example, to print country:
$ wheretero -1
fi

To automatically configure keyboard layout
$ setxkbmap $(wheretero -1)

Wheretero homepage, download, screenshots, faq, feedback:

Did anyone try that remastering?
