Hi,

ftp://netz.smurf.noris.de/{initrd.gz,vmlinuz} has my new keyboard
selection code. Please test / try to break -- I'd like to get some
confidence that this is actually working for >1 person before I
upload the stuff to Hoary.

What the code does: Instead of displaying a list of languages, I ask the
user to press a few specific keys. By evaluating the keycodes, I can
determine which variety of $STRANGE_KEYBOARD you have.

(NB: I *know* the new parts don't have translations yet. That's next.)

Thanks!
