David, no encontre por ningún lado en el CD de slackware
7.1 loadmap y taapoco es.map. Pero la configuración con
kbd.tgz parece ser la mejor opción, aunque todavia no lo
termino de configurar, tal vez hoy lo haga.

Thanks too for who gave me a link for kmap.tgz, but this
does not work for me, some keys not work properly (backspace
and others) and i can't type "ñ". Sorry i don't remember
who was.

A few days ago, Diego ask for help to translate BL to
spanish, i'm not a programer, i'm a web designer, and i see
in the Diego's spanish web site he need some help to
translate the FAQ and other pages of BL english web site. If
he likes i can do that job and him can use his valuable time
to translate the BL distribution. At the moment i have
available space in a web server of the Universidad
Autónoma de Tamaulipas wich i use for the Radio
Universidad web site. I can arrange about 2 Gb here to a BL
mirror site in México to download BL, and if it seems well
to Diego, i can put a copy of his web site translation.
Maybe later i can be able to publish an ftp site too.
At the moment BL 1.8 the special 4mb RAM packages and BL
2.03 are avaible to download in my server the url is
http://radiouni.uat.mx/basiclinux

Thanks for BL (i'm learnig a lot with BL) and for your help
too.
Ernesto

dd can be used to get raw data from any device.  However,
dd is a *very* dangerous command.  If you get the parameters
wrong, you can destructively write to the device you are
trying to read.  Be careful.

-----------------------
dd if=/dev/hda1 count=1
-----------------------
This reads one block from the start of /dev/hda1.
The bs parameter can be used to change the size
of the block.  The skip parameter can be used to
change the starting point.

Note:  outputting raw data to the screen may trigger
the graphics-mode character set.  To return to the
normal character set, execute the following:
-----
reset
-----
When you type those characters, you will see:  two
squares, an underline, another square, and a vertical
line with half-crossbar.  That's how the word "reset"
looks in the graphical character set.  Just press ENTER
and the normal character set should return.

Cheers,
Steven
