3<para>Nothing is more annoying than using Linux with a wrong keymap loaded
4for your keyboard. If you have a default US keyboard, you can skip this
5section. The US keymap file is the default if you don't change it.</para>
6
7<para>To set the default keymap file, create the
[ef7f591]8<filename class="symlink">/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/defkeymap.map.gz</filename>
[4c1a3af]9symlink by running the following commands:</para>
10
[3f12743]11<para><screen><userinput>ln -s &lt;path/to/keymap&gt; /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/defkeymap.map.gz</userinput></screen></para>
[4c1a3af]12
13<para>Replace &lt;path/to/keymap&gt; with the your keyboard's map file. For
14example, if you have a Dutch keyboard, you would run:</para>
15
[3f12743]16<para><screen><userinput>ln -s i386/qwerty/nl.map.gz /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/defkeymap.map.gz</userinput></screen></para>
[4c1a3af]17
[34a2f0c]18<para>A second option to configure your keyboard's layout is to compile
[a5043ab]19the keymap directly into the kernel. This will make sure that your
20keyboard always works as expected, even when you have booted into
[6a9875d]21maintenance mode (by passing `init=/bin/sh' to the kernel), in which case
[a5043ab]22the bootscript that normally sets up your keymap isn't run.</para>
23
[d29479a]24<para>Run the following command to patch the correct keymap into the
25kernel source. You will have to repeat this command whenever you unpack a
26new kernel:</para>
[a5043ab]27
28<para><screen><userinput>loadkeys -m /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/defkeymap.map.gz &gt; \
[3f12743]29&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;/usr/src/linux/drivers/char/defkeymap.c</userinput></screen></para>
