=== Use Traditional Nepali unicode in your XO ===
To change the keyboard setting so that you can type in both English and Nepali. Here's what I did: --[[Pradosh]]<br>
* sudo vi /etc/sysconfig/keyboard
* change<br>
XKB_MODEL="olpc"
XKB_LAYOUT="us"
XKB_VARIANT="olpc"
KEYTABLE="us"
to<br>

XKB_MODEL="olpc"
XKB_LAYOUT="us,np"
XKB_VARIANT="olpc2,olpc"
KEYTABLE="us"

* You can now change the the language in which you type with the multiplication/divide button
* To change the keyboard layout to Nepali Traditional type "sudo vi /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/np"
* Change the file to
