Hi!
I'm doing my first time install of gentoo, really something new for me. I would like to know if you can set a Slovenian keyboard during install. And if you can do it, how and when?

Best regards
George

Booting the Livecd there is a boot option to select the keymapping during boot.
It is explained in the help you can reach from the bootscreen. I don't remeber the parameter.

If you are using the 2004.0 CD, it might not work, so you'll have to do it manually:

Code:
# loadkeys /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/<your-keymap>


In the example above i suppose you are on an i386 or above processor and a qwerty keyboard.
