- This is gcin, an inputmethod platform. Homepage: http://cle.linux.org.tw/gcin/
- Gcin supports Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and many other languages.

STEP by STEP
- get your OLPC image and mount it
mount -o loop,offset=31744 olpc-redhat-stream-development-devel_ext3.img /mnt
- get gcin for Fedora Core 6
- chroot to /mnt and install gcin
(I used a dirty method to do it...rpm2cpio...:-P) - update GTK+ immodules
update-gtk-immodules i686-redhat-linux-gnu
- edit /mnt/etc/gtk-2.0/i686-redhat-linux-gnu/gtk.immodules and
change the second "gcin" to "gtk20"
(You must do it, or gcin will not work.)"gcin" "gcin Input Method" "gtk20" "/usr/share/locale" "*"
- install font
cp bsmi00lp.ttf /mnt/usr/share/fonts
- run fc-cache in chroot environment
(This step should not be necessary, but I ran it.)fc-cache

"My Name:" can be Chinese.
(Chinese filename is not allowed.)
Input Methods menu in OLPC write (Abiword).
Gcin and scim have some OverTheSpot problem with Abiword (OLPC write).
Firefox (OLPC browser) is OK with gcin's OverTheSpot.
