18 Yes you guess well in fact but I do choose fr keyboard and many keys
19 don't work as expected because the ibook2 fr keyboard isn't standard.
20 (the '|' for instance is at '£' place instead of shift-alt-L (macos X)).
21 And I know how to install a new keymap but don't know where to find it
22 for the ibook2.
