as for your wacky keyboard - well I respect your luddite-ism.
One does need to get ones hand dirty with it, on occasion.
My keyboard isn't wacky ... very common in other parts of South America ... just that in the past few years Argentina decided to be different. I've been using it for so long ... I'd get lost on any other keyboard.
No I didn't copy paste that code. I may be crazy, I may be slow, and a bit dumb, but I ain't stupid. ;)
I have HotDog in place ... it's working ... and working with my 'latam' keyboard layout. :D
Next I have to eliminate a few grub entries ... will be start paging that tomorrow.
I have:

quick search tells me I'm on the right path:

no I'm not going to edit that directly ... but I see 5 entries all 'identical'
Code: Select all
menuentry "LinuxBBQ Hot Dog amd64 (2014.40) (on /dev/sda6)" --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2

}
Not sure I understand this part:
insmod ext2

and my grub.cfg all cleaned up, just one BBQ Listing ...
Gotta say this is the most fun (and learning experience) I've had with a
"Grilled Distro" strike that - any install.
Wonder if I can go from HotDot to filet mignon. hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
