Chapter 7. Configure your keyboard

If you are a non US user you will probably need one of the 35 keyboard layouts provided in the keyboard.lrp package.

To configure keyboard go to the LEAF packages configuration menu and choose keyboard.

The following menu will appear:


                        keyboard configuration files

        1) change keyboard language maps

  q) quit

Type 1 to get access to the /etc/init.d/keyboard script where you will have to replace the KEYMAP variable (default="us.map") by the appropriate keyboard setting.

The KEYMAP variable must be chosen among the 35 following entries:

# azerty.map  cz.map         fi.map         jp.map  ro.map       trq.map
# be.map      de-latin1.map  fr-latin1.map  la.map  ru.map       ua.map
# bg.map      de.map         fr.map         lt.map  se.map       uk.map
# br-a.map    dk.map         gr.map         mk.map  sg.map       us.map
# br-l.map    dvorak.map     hu.map         nl.map  sk-y.map     wangbe.map
# by.map      es.map         il.map         no.map  sk-z.map
# cf.map      et.map         is.map         pl.map  slovene.map
# croat.map   fi-latin1.map  it.map         pt.map  trf.map

To activate the new keyboard map get access to the linux shell and type:

/etc/init.d/keyboard start

You can then remove the keymaps you do not need once you are happy with your choice. It will strip the keyboard.lrp package to 1k. From the LEAF console simply run:

/etc/init.d/keyboard remove

Important

To save your modification(s) do not forget to backup keyboard.lrp!
