Re: how do i change keyboard layout? [solved]

It depends whether you mean in the console or in X. Both are covered in the beginners guide. In console 'loadkeys <2lettercode>', in X it's 'setxkbmap <2lettercode>'. For how to make the changes permanent, or various other possibilities, see the chapter 'set the keyboard layout' in the beginners guide.
