Description of problem:
well, first of all sorry for my poor english; im spanish and that is quite 
difficult for me to write and describe... 
well, after using red hat linux 8 and having quite problems with some simbols, i 
decided to trie red hat linux 9. i were not able to write some simbols, too, but 
finally y were able to "fix" the problem (tilde (') and ñ) modifying the i18n 
and keyboard files on /etc/sysconfig. now i have this configuration:
/etc/sysconfig/i18n:
LANG="es_ES@euro"
SUPPORTED="es_ES@euro:es_ES:es"
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"

/etc/sysconfig/keyboard:
KEYBOARDTYPE="pc"
KEYTABLE="es"

but the problem now is that i can not write the euro simbol (?) on the console, 
just after booting linux (on the x windows i can do it properly)

well, i know it will be quite difficult for you to understand, but thats all i 
can do because of my very poor english. thx for your help.
