OK, download version 6.2 burn to CD, boot, admire the lxde stuff, realise the keyboard is not tuned to uk use, check the 'Cheat Codes' page, reboot, BUT entering lang=uk is rejected as a valid command, keyboard=uk likewise! WTF! lang=en is a valid code but it doesn't sort the keyboard out for uk users.

So, my query is, how to setup with uk prefs on lang and keyboard?

And, out of interest, if I install to a disk. how to dump the lxde stuff for something more configurable like gnome?
