Hi Guys

To change the keyboard layout, update your unit using Live Update. On reboot you will find a Keyboard Layout manager in Settings.

@ermie,

this is why I invented this:

or gave birth to it, or wrote it, uhmmmmm…. lets just say I currently don’t have any better choice of word or phrases.

Cheers!

@tyler,

I believe you just have to choose english at the start up, then it will default english, unless it is for the keyboard layout only, but if it is still Chinese, I know for sure that someone has a Linpus English edition posted on the net some where, it is freeware after all.

Thanks so much for the advice, Morris. I didn’t quite understand the USB recovery method (which is what I would need, since I have no external CD/DVD), because when it comes to computers, I am …stupid, haha. But hopefully that should work at the startup. I think that English is loaded onto Linpus (along with most major Asian languages if I remember correctly), but I wasn’t sure how to switch from one to the other. That is great if I can choose English from the start. Thanks again!

Best,
Tyler

@Tayler,

forgot to mention, it should come universally, it should ask you what language you want at the first start up of the laptop.
