| 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>

|

| 7 | <para>To set the default keymap file, create the
|
|---|
| 8 | <filename class="symlink">/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/defkeymap.map.gz</filename>
|
|---|
| 9 | symlink by running the following commands:</para>

| 12 |
|

| 13 | <para>Replace <path/to/keymap> with the your keyboard's map file. For
|
|---|
| 14 | example, if you have a Dutch keyboard, you would run:</para>

| 15 |
|

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

| 17 |
|

| 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>If you didn't create the defkeymap.map.gz file and going with the
|
|---|
| 25 | default US keymap, then again you don't have to do anything. The kernel
|
|---|
| 26 | compiles a suitable keymap by default that'll work just fine for
|
|---|
| 27 | you, so skip the next command.</para>
|
|---|
| 28 |
|
|---|
| 29 | <para>Run the following commands to accomplish that:</para>
