| 3 | <para>Nothing is more annoying than using Linux with a wrong keymap loaded
|
|---|
| 4 | for your keyboard. If you have a default US keyboard, you can skip this
|
|---|
| 5 | section. The US keymap file is the default if you don't change it.</para>

|
|---|
| 9 | symlink by running the following commands:</para>

| 13 | <para>Replace <path/to/keymap> with the your keyboard's map file. For

| 16 | <para><screen><userinput>ln -s i386/qwerty/nl.map.gz /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/defkeymap.map.gz</userinput></screen></para>

| 18 | <para>A second option to configure your keyboard's layout is to compile
|
|---|
| 19 | the keymap directly into the kernel. This will make sure that your
|
|---|
| 20 | keyboard always works as expected, even when you have booted into
|
|---|
| 21 | maintenance mode (by passing `init=/bin/sh' to the kernel), in which case
|
|---|
| 22 | the bootscript that normally sets up your keymap isn't run.</para>

| 23 |
|

| 24 | <para>Run the following command to patch the correct keymap into the

| 25 | kernel source. You will have to repeat this command whenever you unpack a

| 26 | new kernel:</para>
