Moreover, if you need to start X run 'startx'. To browse the WEB you
can use lynx or some other text-based browser. If you have mplayer
installed you can watch videos even in runlevel:3! (It works somehow
strange) I only would like to know how to add different keyboard
layouts. Say, I would like to write in Finnish or Russian language.
How to do that?
