Installing GB regional language support (how?)

[Griffeh]

Okay, I've googled, I've searched, no luck. Since BT4 doesn't come with regional language support, what on earth should I be installing in order to change my bloody # key from a \ back to #. I also have conflicting keys such as the @ - which is currently a " - This is a real problem for me as mis-typing commands due to this is a real pain in the neck. Any and all help is much appreciated.

Really? No one knows?... Is it even possible.... (I assume so... Can't figure a reason for it not to be...)

Any chance you are running BT 4 from within VMWare Server? I have had the VMWare Server console interface do this exact thing to me on multiple Linux guest systems other than BackTrack (but I assume it would do it to BackTrack as well). I haven't needed to use the console that much on these particular guests, so Ive just put up with the problem after making a proforma 5 minute search for a solution, but I can see why it would be annoying to deal with longer term.

Anyway, if that is the problem you can either use a different virtualisation product (I like VirtualBox), you can attempt to fix the problem in VMWare or you can run the ssh server/vnc server on BackTrack and access the console/gui that way.
