Yes, but the earlier Knoppix gave me a perfectly correct British keyboard when I entered 'knoppix lang=uk' at the boot: prompt, and it no longer does it (lang=uk makes the keyboard dead, not ukrainian). This is why I am hoping that the British keyboard file is still in there somewhere and there is a way to select it after booting.

Or was that Mr Shaw?
