I have activated more text consoles by adding lines like the following
to /etc/inittab
8:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty8
9:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty9
[...]
If I try to type german umlauts on these new consoles I get garbage instead.
How can I fix that?
Thanks a lot,
Robert Epprecht

Hi
When I installed abs-guide package, the documentation comes in html
format. However I like to have the abs-book in pdf format. So I unzipped
the /usr/share/doc/abs-guide/abs-book.sgml.gz to abs-book.sgml. Then I
tried to convert the sgml file into a pdf one by doing
$docbook2pdf abs-book.s

I don't know if Debian uses a swap file or not. Someone else would
