XandrOS 4 Home Edition – Premium and Greek language support

Since we as a country have not standarised on a keyboard, when trying to install support for Greek on a linux machine you will find out that there exists an overlay keyboard (gr) over the us keyboard and a defined language for Greek (el). So what you have to do on a XandrOS 4 Home Edition – Premium to get Greek working is become root and:

# cd /etc/X11/xkb/symbols
# ln el gr
# cd pc
# ln gr el

Other sites explain in detail why the mixup between using el and gr. Remember, this is a quick hack and not the solution.

Update: You should also run a dpkg-reconfigure -plow locales and add el_GR (ISO-8859-7) and el_GR.UTF8
