[Musix-users] Musix .049 Engluish install to HD

Sun Jul 2 18:17:40 CEST 2006

Marco,

Thank you for your help. I've reinstalled to the HD  after booting the LiveCD 
with "englishrt dma" and after HD install using the login screen can select 
Menu -> Sessions _> englsh-icewm from the KDM login screen to get a great 
english centric system. I've modified grub so the "...beyond4.1" kernel is 
the default.  The system appears stable and working.  

Again, thanks.

Hopefully someone can guide me with a few more refinements:

I'd like to get KDM to default to english-icewm at login. Despite several 
hours of Googling and chasing through Xsession files (and others) I have been 
unable to locate where XDM stores the default definition for a user's 
session. Since all the members of my son's band speak english and I'll be 
setting up accounts for all of them (none have any real Linux experience) , 
I'd like to make some type of global change so english-icewm is the default 
for everyone

Also, I'd like to set the keyboard to a standard US 101 type keyboard since 
I'm having trouble navigating through  the CLI and vi with the existing 
settings. 

Again, any info would be greatly appreciated.
