Alternatively, perhaps somebody with an American keyboard needed to type czech on it and contributed a layout. The choice of which map to use (and whether qwerty or qwertz) is probably best left to the distro (and then modified by the individual user to suit his or her needs), but logic suggests cz.map belongs in the qwertz directory. Now, can _I_ ask something, please ? What is your policy for accepting keymaps ? I can remember several years ago I had to modify a map to get something suitable for my "british" ibook (G3), and there was a stony silence when I tried to feed it back. FWIW, it no longer worked when I had to get a G4 ibook, so it's not a long-term loss, I'm just curious. =C4=B8en --=20 das eine Mal als Trag=C3=B6die, das andere Mal als Farce
