- This package provides an accurate replacement for the US Latin1 keymap.
- Not only does it provides the same keys, it also adds the ability to obtain
- more accented characters as well as characters not otherwise found on the
- standard US International layout (French typographic quotes, Euro sign, ...).
-
- Please note also that the keymap provided is available only in text console
- mode. The X Window System is using a different keymap handling system that
- is incompatible with the Linux keymap handling system.
-

-
- Quote, backquote, circumflex and guillemot:
- a,e,i,o,u : acute, grave, circumflex, umflaut

- Note that this list is based on the ISO-8859-15 character set. The
- descriptions for certain symbols might not be correct if you are using
- ISO-8859-1 although most of them are. Actually the characters displayed
- might not be conform to their description. DO NOT FORGET TO SET YOUR
- CONSOLE ACCURATELY.
