Hmmm, about keymaps, I got a wierd thing happening sometimes in pine... After the header, before the message, I get the notice: [The following text is in the "ISO-8859-1" character set] [Your display is set for the "US-ASCII" character set] [Some characters may be displayed incorrectly] However, my screenmap is set to: keymap="us.iso" # keymap in /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/* (or NO). scrnmap="iso-8859-1_to_cp437" # screen map in /usr/share/syscons/scrnm Is my display set to iso-8859? How can I change it?
