1) Look in the JE package for a japanese keyboard (106 keys) map to be used 
   with the loadkeys package. Then you can create a new key table that goes 
   in the kernel 'loadkeys --mktable > linux/drivers/char/keyboard.map'. If 
   you don't want to recompile the kernel, add the 'loadkeys' command in
   your rc.local

2) descriptions of each package are logged in /var/adm/installed/packages
   or somewhere close (sorry, I'm running Win95 now and would have to reboot
   the machine to get Linux; BTW does anybody know if the installable drive
   that would enable ext2 filesystem support under Win95 was ever developed?)

3) the dial-up PPP connection program is 'chat'

4) to hold a meeting, Jan 28 is a good date for me too. As for the place,
   I could ask my advisor to use the lab, the only inconvenient is that
   the university is a 30-min walk far from the nearest station, or a 20-min
   bus ride from Yokohama Station.

I don't think I will login until Jan 3, so... Happy New Year!
