links, BL3.50 website, Support, Archives, search on 'keyboard spanish'.
I got 7 hits from May 2004 to March 2005, with mention of es.map.
Other people have used Spanish and French and German keyboards with
basiclinux, so also search on 'change keyboards'. I don't know if the
method is different for console and X keyboards like it is for fonts.
See for Spanish (among other hits):

You probably need kbd.tgz Slackware package, which comes with
instructions. You can also change the console screen font

Welcome to basiclinux, Clara. I think you are the only other woman in
the group besides me, in nearly 10 years!
Please try to set your mail program to send plain text WITHOUT a second
copy of the message in HTML format. You probably don't see both copies,
but some programs display the HTML and it wastes space in mailboxes and
adds nothing useful. Look under preferences, options, etc. Most 'modern'
mail programs are idiotic and send HTML by default.
