Maybe you should edit /etc/sysconfig/i18n or/and ~/.i18n to add a russian locale. > 2a> Is there a way of setting up a phonetic Cyrillic keyboard?

Don't leave the "-" when becoming root using "su" (-> su -). There are ready ALSA rpms for Fedora Core 1 on freshrpms.net. Install those packages. No need to self compile. You can add the freshrpms yum repository to the sources list /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources and easily install and upgrade packages using up2date. > So, any suggestions/pointers would be greatly appreciated! > > Thanks in advance, > > Krikket Alexander -- Alexander Dalloz | Enger, Germany PGP key valid: made 13.07.1999 PGP fingerprint: 2307 88FD 2D41 038E 7416 14CD E197 6E88 ED69 5653
