i have recently decided to learn linux in depth for the purpose of integrating it into my work network. since kde and gnome are worse than windows as far as being resource hogs im aiming for cli administration of the services. pursuing this is consuming all of my free time

my main computer at home right now (the one im on now) is mdk 10.1 which is connected to the network via vpn.

there's two annoyances that poped up. no freecell (which i corrected by installing wine) and three keyboard keys that don't seem to function. the right ALT, Windows and Sub-menue keys. its a dell keyboard BTW

i tried installing kbdconfig. the last version i found was for mdk 9.2. all i got was this.

critical error reading /etc/sysconfig/keyboard

searching for a solution to this is coasting more time than its worth so if anyone can shed some light on this i would appreciate it. if not it's nothing i can't live with. :-)
