Hi Alf,

The first thing to do is to make sure that SCIM is installed and running 
properly on Fedora 8. You can do this as follows:

1. Go to Applications/Add Remove Software
2. Click on the search tab and search for SCIM
3. Ensure the following are installed

scim-bridge-gtk
scim-bridge-qt
scim-gtk
scim-bridge-qt4
scim-libs
scim-bridge
scim

4. Once these packages are install go to 
System/Preferences/Personal/Input Method
Make sure that "Enable input method" feature is checked and that SCIM is 
selected

I am not sure but you may need to log off and back on again before you 
can do this.

5. Install kmfl rpms.

I have just uploaded RPMs for kmfl to the sourceforge site. You can 
download them from

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=130915

The file you want is kmfl-0.9.6-fc8.tar.gz 
<http://downloads.sourceforge.net/kmfl/kmfl-0.9.6-fc8.tar.gz?modtime=1203960629&big_mirror=0>.

The is a compressed archive which contains three RPMs. Let me know of 
you need help on how to install them.

Once kmfl is installed, you will need to log off and back on again. You 
can then install kmfl keyboards from scim-setup. Right click on the SCIM 
icon in the tool tray and select SCIM setup. Expand the IMengine tree in 
the left pane and select KMFL. You can then manage keyboards by the 
buttons in the right pane.

Let me know if you need more details.

Doug.
