-!!!1. Introduction
-!!1.1. Why this document?
-
-Since there was no information anywhere on the net for Belgian Linux
-users around 1998, we started to collect stuff that we thought could
-be important.
-This HOWTO aims to be the definitive list of all Belgian-related Linux
-information. If you think not, you have no excuse to complain and
-certainly not to not contribute. ;)
-
-
-----
-!!1.2. New versions of this document
-
-If you need to know more about the Linux Documentation Project or
-about Linux HOWTO's, feel free to contact the supervisor Tim Bynum
-`linux-howto@sunsite.unc.edub.
-
-
-
-
-Tim Bynum will post the listing to several national and international
-newsgroups on a monthly basis. In addition, the Belgian HOWTO can be
-found on the World Wide Web at
-http://dag.wieers.com/howto/.
-New versions of the Belgian HOWTO are always placed at this site
-first, so please be sure to check if the copy you are reading is
-still up to date!
-
-

-This document is currently translated in 3 languages (English, Dutch
-and French), we're trying to keep all three of them in sync, but the
-English version is the source-document!

-!!1.5. The Linux.be-domain debacle
-
-As you might have heard, Belgium also has its problem with the Linux.be
-domain. Similar to the Linux.nl case. Around March 1999, someone tricked
-the DNS administration about the trademark 'Linux' in Belgium by using
-'Linux' as a commercial representation of the company ('uithangbord')
-which was according to the rules of the DNS administration at that time.
-The company in fact was one that sold motor-parts and the registration was
-done with a fake fax containing a penguin.
-
-
-
-
-It is sad that the person who registered the Linux.be-domain name (Matthias
-Barremaecker), did this behind the back of some Open Source volunteers who
-were planning to register a not-for-profit organisation to hold the domain
-name to prevent any abuse.
-
-
-
-
-Afterwards there were several meetings with this person to work out an
-agreement so that the domain was not used for commercial purposes and
-handed over to a neutral organisation. But after several attempts it
-was very clear that the owner wanted full control over the domain, which
-he later emphasized by 'handing it over' to his own not-for-profit
-organisation. He stated several times he wanted to keep the right to add
-advertissements to the website, but wouldn't mind that volunteers added
-content to the site (that was empty at the time). After this, no one was
-willing to work voluntarily for the content of the site. Sadly he managed
-to get some people volunteer for it after all.
-
-
-----
-!!1.6. Feedback

-If some information seems to be wrong, deceptive or missing, we'd
-appreciate if you mailed us the improvements. Since we're just human
-this document isn't bug-free, but your contribution can and will make
-a difference.
-

-!!!2. Configuration
-!!2.1. Keyboard setup
-
-Linux provides 2 ways to set up your keyboard. At the console you can
-use __loadkeys__ and under
-XFree86 you can use
-__xmodmap__.
-
-
-----
-!2.1.1. Console
-
-To use the keytable for a Belgian keyboard you can use
-__loadkeys be2-latin1__ or
-__loadkeys be-latin1__.
-The only difference between the two is that be2-latin1 adds support
-for twosuperior and threesuperior (keycode 41) and grave (keycode 43).
-
-
-
-
-Usually __loadkeys__ is started at boottime from the
-scripts located somewhere in
-/etc/rc.d.
-Different distributions handle it differently. Most distributions
-have a simple program (like __kbdconfig__ in Red Hat,
-__install-keymap__ in Debian or
-__yast__ in SuSE) to change the behaviour of these
-scripts.
-
-
-----
-!2.1.2. XFree86
-
-To set your keyboard properly under XFree86
-you've got more choices.
-By running __Xconfigurator__ (or a similar program) a
-config-file for XFree86 is created (with
-some standard behaviour). This file is called
-XF86Config-4 or XF86Config
-and is usually located in
-/etc/X11 or
-/etc
-
-
-
-
-Make sure (and change otherwise) that something similar to this is
-given under the ''Keyboard Section''.
-
- Section "Keyboard"
-Protocol "Standard"
-!XkbRules "xfree86"
-!XkbModel "pc101"
-!XkbLayout "be"
-!EndSection
-
-
-
-
-If you own a 'microsoft' keyboard (or the less-known penguin
-keyboards ;p) you can enable those extra 3 keys by changing the
-''"pc101"'' into ''"pc104"''.
-(I use the extra keys as meta-keys in my windowmanager so some
-shortcuts don't conflict with the internal ones of my wm).
-
-
-
-
-To get the !AltGr key to work under XFree86
-simply add in the ''Keyboard Section:''
-
- !RightAlt !ModeShift
-
-
-----
-!2.1.3. Compose key
-
-Some people prefer to use a 'Compose'-key to enter their special characters, like:
-
- Compose-__'__ __e__ =b é
-Compose-__/__ __o__ =b ø
-Compose-__c__ __,__ =b ç
-Compose-__c__ __o__ =b ©
-Compose-__s__ __s__ =b ß
-For XFree86, the solution is to enter __xmodmap -e "keycode xx = Multi_key"__
-or __xmodmap -e "keysym yy = Multi_key"__
-where 'xx' is the keycode or 'yy' the keysym of the key you choose to
-be the 'Compose'-key.
-(use __xev__ to get these values)
-
-
-
-
-Alternatively you can add __keycode xx = Multi_key__
-to your ~/.xmodmaprc. This way it happens automagically.
-
-
-
-
-For the console, you could do something similar with loadkeys.
-__echo "altgr keycode 52 = Compose" | loadkeys__ to use
-!AltGr-__/__ as a 'Compose'-key.
-
-
-----
-!!2.2. Display and applications
-
-Some applications have to be compiled as 8-bit clean to work well
-with the European characterset. Others like to be told in advance.
-
-
-----
-!2.2.1. Using the ISO-8859-1 font in console
-
-You can load the ISO-8859-1 font by typing the following in console:
-
- setfont lat1u-16.psf
-mapscrn trivial
-echo -ne '\033(K'
-
-
-
-
-To be able to use ë, è, é or ç in console,
-you might want to add these to your ~/.inputrc:
-
- set meta-flag on
-set convert-meta off
-set output-meta on
-(This must be done for every user, if you want this to be default for
-all users you can either add this file to
-/etc/skel/ or you could add
-these lines to /etc/inputrc and add the
-following to /etc/bashrc,
-__export INPUTRC=/etc/inputrc__)
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-__Note!__
-
-This is only useful to programs that use readline
-(like bash)
-
-
-
-
-Also set the following environment variables:
-
- LC_CTYPE=iso-8859-1
-SYSFONT=lat1u-16.psf
-SYSTERM=linux
-
-
-----
-!2.2.2. Support for the Euro symbol
-
-Since Europe had to invent a new character, the Euro, there's a new
-standard. It's called ISO-8859-15 (aka Latin-9 or Latin-). To add
-support you need both a new font and new keymaps. This is part of
-every major distribution nowadays, if you have an older distributions
-you probably need a newer ''console-tools'' package.
-
-
-
-
-There's more information in the
-Euro Character Support mini HOWTO
-
-
-----
-!!2.3. Time zone
-
-Since Belgium is located in the Central European Time zone (aka MET)
-which (in the winter) is equivalent to the Greenwhich Mean Time plus 1
-(GMT+1), you can simply link
-/usr/lib/zoneinfo/localtime/MET to
-/etc/localtime symbolicly like:
-
- ln -sf /usr/lib/zoneinfo/MET /etc/localtime
-or
-
- ln -sf /usr/lib/zoneinfo/Europe/Brussels /etc/localtime
-This automagically sets Daylight Savings (which is GMT+2 in the
-summer).
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-__Note!__
-
-Different distributions have different paths,
-zoneinfo can be located in
-/usr/share or such...
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-__Another note!__
-
-Red Hat uses a tool called __timeconfig__,
-SuSE uses __yast__
-
-
-
-
-To change the CMOS clock and then synchronize the
-system time with the CMOS clock, do something like
-this:
-
- hwclock --set --date="Feb 25 03:38"
-clock -u -s
-If your clock is set to local time (which is discouraged but if you
-also run broken OS's, you must), you can do:
-
- hwclock --set --date="Feb 25 04:38"
-clock -s
-[[Noticed the 1 hour difference ? ;p]
-
-
-
-
-If your computer has Internet-access you can use
-NTP (Network Time Protocol) to keep your system
-clock in sync. One way of doing this is by starting ntpdate from
-cron by adding
-
- 05 0 * * * root /usr/sbin/ntpdate -s ntp.belnet.be b /dev/null 2b81
-to your ''/etc/crontab''. Check the
-ISP-information below to see if your
-ISP has a NTP-server available.
-
-
-----
-!!2.4. Locale support
-
-Not much programs support locale yet, if you want to know more about
-locale or how to write your own programs to support it, check:
-[[put the damn url
here ;p]
-
-
-
-
-Be aware that locale makes it harder to resolve problems as less
-people can help you !! You might understand a problem when it's in
-technical English, but what if it's translated in some obscure
-Dutch ?
-
-
-----
-!2.4.1. Dutch
-
-To enable support for the Dutch locale in Belgium on a system with
-locale support you just have to set the following environment
-variables:
-
- LANG=nl
-LANGUAGE=nl_BE
-Try nl_BE.ISO_8859-1 if nl_BE does not work.
-
-
-----
-!2.4.2. French
-
-If you want French locale support in Belgium, set the following environment
-variabels:
-
- LANG=fr
-LANGUAGE=fr_BE
-Try fr_BE.ISO_8859-1 if fr_BE does not work.
-
-
-----
-!2.4.3. German
-
-If you want instead German locale support in Belgium, set the
-following environment variabels:
-
- LANG=de
-LANGUAGE=de_BE
-Try de_BE.ISO_8859-1 if de_BE does not work.
-
-
-----
-!2.4.4. Walloon
-
-For Walloon locale support you can find files and information at:
-http://www.linuxi18n.org/locales/walon/.
-To use it set:
-
- LANG=wa
-LANGUAGE=wa_BE:fr_BE
-Try wa_BE.ISO_8859-1 if wa_BE does not work.
-
-
-----
-!!2.5. Native language support and codepages
-
-These options add support for the Belgian characterset and codepages.
-If you'd like to have these, compile a kernel with these options put
-on. They only apply to some filesystems (FAT-based,
-ISO9660, ...).
-
- ` b Codepage 850 (Europe)
-` b NLS ISO 8859-1 (Latin 1; Western European Languages)
-` b NLS ISO 8859-15 (Latin 9; Western European Languages with Euro)
-Located in ''Filesystems'' b
-''Native Language Support''
-
-
-
-
-If your kernel is a modular kernel that came with your distribution
-(=you never compiled a kernel before), then you might want to type:
-
- insmod nls_cp850
-insmod nls_iso8859_1
-insmod nls_iso8859_15
-
-
-----
-!!2.6. Ispell
-
- '' Contributed by Dany Vanderroost `danyv@euronet.beb
-''
-
-
-----
-!2.6.1. Install and setup
-
-Ispell is composed of different components: the main software and
-one or more dictionaries. The default dictionary is
-/usr/lib/ispell/english.hash. To override this default
-you have 2 options. Either you can set the DICTIONARY-variable
-or launch it with the "-d" option.
-
-
-
-
-You can create custom dictionaries in your home-directory like
-~/.ispell_english.
-
-
-----
-!2.6.2. Dutch
-
-
- export DICTIONARY=nederlands
-or
-
- ispell -d nederlands file_name
-
-
-----
-!2.6.3. French
-
-
- export DICTIONARY=francais
-or
-
- ispell -d francais file_name
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-Ispell doesn't work with Walloon which is a phonetic dialect and not a
-lexical structured language.
-
-
-----
-!2.6.4. German
-
-
- export DICTIONARY=deutsch
-or
-
- ispell -d deutsch file_name
-
-
-----
-!2.6.5. Multilanguage spelling
-
-By default Ispell will not work with multiple dictionaries but the solution
-is to work with the ~/.ispell_words file.
-
-
-
-
-If you don't want to make multi instance with Ispell, You can build
-~/.ispell_words with the words package by
-__cp /usr/dict/words ~/.ispell_words; chmod +w ~/.ispell_words__.
-
-
-----
-!!2.7. Setting up Internet
-!2.7.1. Dialing in with your modem (PPP)
-
-To configure PPP correctly, you should check the
-PPP-HOWTO.
-I try to explain it briefly, but if you have any questions or
-problems, read the HOWTO very carefully.
-
-
-----__2.7.1.1. Configuring the modem__
-
-To configure your modem, you can alter the initstring of your modem.
-To learn more about your modem, check
-Ask Mr. Modem.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-If you have a winmodem you will probably not get it to work. More
-information about winmodems is at:
-http://linmodems.org/.
-Work is underway, but winmodems are not as good as
-''real'' modems.
-
-
-----__2.7.1.2. Installing pppd__
-
-Now, you need to have the ppp-package installed (check this by typing
-__pppd --version__), make sure you have a recent
-one. Then you have to make sure you've got these files:
-
-
-
-
-/usr/local/bin/ppp
-
- #!/bin/sh
-case $1 in
-(on|start)
-TELEPHONE='555-1212' # The telephone number for the connection
-ACCOUNT='your_login' # The account name for logon (as in 'George Burns')
-PASSWORD='your_pass' # The password for this account (and 'Gracie Allen')
-INITSTRING='AT8F8C18D2Z'# Modem initstring
-IPLOCAL=...0 # Local IP address if known. Dynamic = ...
-IPREMOTE=...0 # Remote IP address if desired. Normally ...
-DEVICE=/dev/ttyS1 # Serial Device com1=ttyS0, com2=ttyS1,...
-SPEED=57600 # 19200, 38400 or 57600 (don't try something different)
-export TELEPHONE ACCOUNT PASSWORD INITSTRING
-exec /usr/sbin/pppd $DEVICE $SPEED $IPLOCAL:$IPREMOTE \
-user $ACCOUNT connect /etc/ppp/ppp-on-dialer
-;;
-(off|stop)
-if [[ -r /var/run/ppp0.pid ]; then
-kill -INT `cat /var/run/ppp0.pid`
-if [[ ! "$?" = "" ]; then
-rm -f /var/run/ppp0.pid
-echo "ERROR: Removed stale pid file"
-exit 1
-fi
-exit
-fi
-echo "ERROR: PPP link is not active on ppp0"
-exit 1
-;;
-(info|status)
-/usr/sbin/pppstats
-;;
-(*)
-echo "Usage: ppp on|off|info|start|stop|status";
-esac
-
-
-
-
- /etc/ppp/ppp-on-dialer
-
- #!/bin/sh
-exec /usr/sbin/chat -v \
-REPORT CONNECTION \
-REPORT CARRIER \
-TIMEOUT 10 \
-ABORT '\nBUSY\r' \

-CONNECT '\d\c' \
-ogin:--ogin: "$ACCOUNT" \
-ord: "$PASSWORD"
-You can remove the -v once everything looks
-normal.
-
-
-
-
-The pppd command uses /etc/ppp/options to list
-its options, change these options to whatever fits. These defaults
-normally work in most cases.

-Once dialing in works like a charm, you can leave
-debug out.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-It is important to emphasize that every special
-character, thus every character that is not [[a-ZA-Z0-9] and '_',
-should be escaped by preceding it with a '\'-character.
-Thus "e!b$l+" would become "e\!b\$l\+".
-Try it if you are having troubles !
-
-
-----__2.7.1.3. pap-secrets / chap-secrets__
-
-If your ISP requires CHAP or PAP, you need one of these files with
-their proper username and password:
-
-
-
-
-/etc/ppp/pap-secrets or /etc/ppp/chap-secrets
-
- #client server secret IP
-your_login * your_pass *
-
-
-----__2.7.1.4. Network__
-
-To configure your nameservers, change
-/etc/resolv.conf. If dialing in is succesful,
-but you can't get it to connect to URL's:
-this is probably the cause.
-
- domain domain_of_your_isp
-nameserver your_primary_nameserver
-nameserver your_secondary_nameserver
-
-
-----__2.7.1.5. File permissions__
-
-Before you can run a (shell)script, it must be set executable. Be sure
-that you set the permissions so that other users cannot see the
-passwords stored in the files. If you want other users to be able to
-dial in, you might want to consider using __sudo__.
-You might want to do the following:
-
- chmod u+rw og-rwx -R /etc/ppp
-chmod u+x /etc/ppp/ppp-on-dialer /usr/local/bin/ppp
-
-
-----__2.7.1.6. Dial + Hangup__
-
-Then if /usr/local/bin is in
-your PATH, you can easily dial in with
-__ppp on__, hangup with __ppp off__
-and to get some statistics, you do: __ppp status__.

-!2.7.2. Dialing in with your ISDN-modem
-
- '' Contributed by Christophe Lambin `clambin@skynet.beb
-''
-
-
-
-
-This section does not aim to be a definitive guide on ISDN for Linux.
-For a more detailed discussion on the topic, see
-Paul Slootman's ISDN4Linux HOWTO
-and ISDN4Linux-FAQ.
-
-
-----__2.7.2.1. Updating the kernel__
-
-If you're using a 2.2 kernel, it's recommended to get an updated
-version of the ISDN code. You can retrieve it
-from CVS at
-ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/isdn4linux/.
-For more information, check:
-http://www.brisse.dk/site/linux/docs/isdn.htm
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-If you've recently purchased an Eicon Diva 2.0 PCI
-(eg, via Belgacom), there's a good chance you've actually got a
-Diva 2.01.In this case, you must get a version dated 1 July 1999 or
-later !
-
-
-
-
-Once the ISDN is in place, you can start up the
-driver. Eg: __modprobe hisax type=11 protocol=2__
-Refer to the Readme's for the right parameters and values for your
-card.
-
-
-----__2.7.2.2. ISDN4Linux toolkit__
-
-Next, you'll need the ISDN4Linux toolkit. You can retrieve the latest
-version of the toolkit at: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/isdn4linux/
-
-
-----__2.7.2.3. Configuring the interface__
-
-With the tools installed and configured, write a script to configure
-the interface, to be used for the ISDN connection.
-As always in Linux, there's no one correct way of doing this. I've
-put these in a script
-
-
-
-
-/etc/rc.d/rc.isdn:
-
- #!/bin/sh
-MSNREMOTE='555-1212' # Phone number of ISP
-MSNLOCAL='555-1313' # my number, without , with areacode
-ACCOUNT='george' # The account for logon (as 'George Burns')
-IPLOCAL=10...2 # my fixed IP (use 10...2 if no fixed)
-IPREMOTE=...0 # IP number of ISP
-INTERFACE=ippp0
-/sbin/modprobe hisax type=11 protocol=2
-/sbin/isdnctrl verbose 3 system on
-/sbin/isdnctrl addif $IF
-/sbin/isdnctrl secure $IF on
-/sbin/isdnctrl addphone $IF out $MSNREMOTE
-/sbin/isdnctrl eaz $IF $MSNLOCAL
-/sbin/isdnctrl huptimeout $IF 300
-/sbin/isdnctrl l2_prot $IF hdlc
-/sbin/isdnctrl l3_prot $IF trans
-/sbin/isdnctrl encap $IF syncppp
-/sbin/isdnctrl dialmode $IF auto
-/sbin/ifconfig $IF $IPLOCAL pointopoint $IPREMOTE -arp -broadcast
-/sbin/ipppd /dev/ippp0 user $ACCOUNT $IPLOCAL:$IPREMOTE
-
-
-
-
-To start this at boot time, make it executable and append the
-following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
-
- if [[ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.isdn ]; then
-. /etc/rc.d/rc.isdn
-fi
-
-
-
-
-The __ipppd__ command gets its parameters passed
-through a file, /etc/ppp/ioptions:
-
- -ac
--bsdcomp
-debug
-defaultroute
-ipcp-accept-local
-ipcp-accept-remote
-mru 1524
-mtu 1500
-noipdefault
--pc
-useifip
--vj
--vjccomp
-#idle 360
-#persistent
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-Do NOT specify +pap or +chap in this file. This
-specifies the authentication that ipppd should use for an INCOMING
-client. If you were to use this to connect to your ISP, ipppd would
-wait for the ISP to authenticate itself using the specified protocol.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-It is important to emphasize that every special
-character, thus every character that is not [[a-ZA-Z0-9] and '_'
-should be escaped by preceding it with a '\'-character. Thus 'e!b$l+'
-would become 'e\!b\$l\+'. Try it if you are having troubles !
-
-
-
-
-Finally, create /etc/ppp/ip-down.local to handle
-the shutdown of the interface:
-
- #!/bin/sh
-/sbin/ifconfig $1 down
-sleep 1
-/sbin/ifconfig $1 10...2 pointopoint
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-__Note!__
-
-This is to handle some problems with routes on
-shutdowns. Anyone know of a clean(er) solution ?
-
-
-----__2.7.2.4. pap-secrets / chap-secrets__
-
-If your ISP uses PAP or CHAP, create a file
-/etc/ppp/pap-secrets or
-/etc/ppp/chap-secrets. Its format is:
-
- #client server secret IP
-your_login * your_pass *
-
-
-----__2.7.2.5. Network__
-
-Not really related to ISDN, but a lot of people
-forget this step (too eager to try out all the stuff they typed in
-above ? :-)).
-
-
-
-
-Anyway, you need to configure the DNS, by creating a file
-/etc/resolv.conf:
-
- domain your_domain_of_your_isp
-nameserver your_primary_nameserver
-nameserver your_secondary_nameserver
-
-
-----__2.7.2.6. File permissions__
-
-Before you can run a (shell)script, it must be set executable. Be sure
-that you set the permissions so that other users cannot see the
-passwords stored in the files. If you want other users to be able to
-dial in, you might want to consider using __sudo__.
-You might want to do the following:
-
- chmod u+rw og-rwx -r /etc/ppp
-chmod u+x /etc/rc.d/rc.isdn /etc/ppp/ip.down-local /usr/local/bin/isdn
-
-
-----__2.7.2.7. Dial + Hangup__
-
-Finally, you can write a little wrapper to start and stop the ISDN
-connection. I've put this as __/usr/local/bin/isdn__:
-
- #!/bin/bash
-case $1 in
-(on|start)
-/sbin/isdnctrl dial ippp0
-;;
-(off|stop)
-/sbin/isdnctrl hangup ippp0
-;;
-(info|status)
-/sbin/isdnctrl list ippp0
-;;
-(*)
-echo "Usage: isdn on|off|info|start|stop|status"
-esac
-
-
-
-
-Then if /usr/local/bin is in
-your PATH, you can easily dial in with
-__isdn on__ and hangup with
-__isdn off__.

-
-
-
-
-Lots of people want to connect a whole network to their cablemodem,
-that's not a problem. You'll need
- IP-Masquerading
-and make sure the interface (that speaks to the cablemodem) has the

-!!6.3. HOWTO translations
-
-As Dutch is less wide-spread, it is the least supported. But work is
-being done to resolve this ;) (and maybe *you* can help ?!?) French
-and German translations obviously are already taken care of.
-
-
-----
-!6.3.1. Dutch
-
-A succesfull initiative is making progress, but there's still a lot
-to do. If you want to help, start translating and send it there.

-!!6.6. IRC
-
-The fastest medium to get support is IRC, but
-beware. Because IRC is rather anonymous it's also
-easy to deceive people.
-
-
-
-
-On IRCnet there's a channel called #linux.be that is closely related
-to bcol and the Belgian Linux-scene. The channel is still small, but
-it surely will grow in time. To get help in English, there's only one
-place #linux.
-
-
-
-
-Also Dalnet has a #linux.be channel
