Added /etc/ini.d/Hindi_kbd and /etc/Xmodmap (this is to set Hindi kbd)




           Presently I am modifying gnoppix and copying it to another HDD
           partition from where I am booting. I have not yet created an
           self booting CD (I dont guess that should fail for any reason
           :-) ).





         I would like if we can include the following in the main
         distribution. 



  1. Yudit (A unicode editor - Please include the fonts for all the
  indian languages - I can provide you with these fonts)
           Configure when in chrooted mode into gnoppix completes well
           but the make says 
                       In file included from SPostscript.cpp:33:
                       /tmp/yudit-2.7.2/swindow/sx11/SX11Impl.h:36:
                       X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory
                       /tmp/yudit-2.7.2/swindow/sx11/SX11Impl.h:37:
                       X11/Xutil.h: No such file or directory
                       /tmp/yudit-2.7.2/swindow/sx11/SX11Impl.h:38:
                       X11/Xatom.h: No such file or directory
           My guess we need X11-devel. I have compiled it on Debian Woody
           and moved it to gnoppix and it is working well.

  2. Drgenius (A geometry software)
          Configure gives 
               No package 'gtk+-2.0' found
          Requirements (gtk+-2.0 libglade-2.0 libxml-2.0)

  3. Balsa. (or include the following libs 
                      glib-2.0
                      libgnome-2.0
                      libgnomeui-2.0
                      gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0
                      gnome-vfs-2.0
                      gnome-vfs-module-2.0
                      libgtkhtml-2.0
             )

  4. Add grass (GIS package) or libtermcap library.

  5. Change the defaults H Freq in /usr/sbin/mkxf86config to 30-50 - This
  increases the hardware compactiblity.
 
  6. Add PHP support for the webserver.


*********************************
NOTE : These changes are made to a distro I am making and they have not
been provided back to the development team. I would love to provide these
changes back to the community but do have limited bandwidth connection
(unlimited in time). I can provide individual changes or work online to
make these changed on the main distribution.
