> Is it possible to use the norwegian characters/keyboard in minix?


Dear Salve
I don't know if there is or there isn't a specific norwegian keyboard
library.
You can look at
usr/lib/keymap
there are some keyboard files , maybe there is your keyb. too
(scandinavn?)

To change the keyboard setting, I don't remember correctly the
commands

it should be something like:
loadkeys etc/rc usr/lib/ [yourkeymap] (it 's likely to be wrong)
you can find the correct command at
http://www.minix3.org/manpages/man8/usage.8.html
that I can' t open at the moment.

Thank you!

/usr/lib/keymap/scandinav(ia)n.. is Swedish, not Norwegian, only quite
close.. better than english.
But in it, I can't find the pipe (|) character, and *nix is rather
disabled without it, I'm shure you know! Typing the key with '|' on it
prints no character at all. (That's the key just below )


Thank you for pointing me to 'man usage'. I don't know why I didn't find
that.
I now see that if I had started the setup, I would have been asked for
my keyboard choice. Fine! I have just been running the live-cd.
(.. But that pipe character.. hmm..)

yes, check dis http://www.tablaascii.com/ site to look for decimal
representation, copy one of the keyboard map in /usr/src/drivers/tty/
keymaps, shange the Makefile adding your keybord .src and compile, use
the comand loadkeys yourkeyboard.map and see if is ok, same keys ar
not in sequence. any question jorge_barreto_@msn.com.

It should not be difficult to create a Norwegian keyboard map starting
from the sources in /usr/src/drivers/tty/keymaps/. There are many
maps available and you can duplicate one of them and modify it to your
needs.
