<title>Creating the loadkeys script</title>
<!--
<para>You only need to create this script if you don't have a
default 101 keys US keyboard layout.
Because we've scrapped the symbolic link for the default, I assume
that everyone will need this script?
-->
<para>Create the <filename>/etc/init.d/loadkeys</filename> script by
running the following command:</para>
<para><screen><userinput>cat &gt; loadkeys &lt;&lt; "EOF"</userinput>
#!/bin/sh
# Begin /etc/init.d/loadkeys
#
# Include the functions declared in the /etc/init.d/functions file
#
source /etc/init.d/functions
#
# Include /etc/sysconfig/keyboard which contains the LAYOUT variable
#
source /etc/sysconfig/keyboard
#
# Load the default keymap file
#
echo -n "Loading keymap..."
/bin/loadkeys $LAYOUT 2&gt;/dev/null
evaluate_retval
# End /etc/init.d/loadkeys
<userinput>EOF</userinput></screen></para>

<title>Creating the /etc/sysconfig/keyboard file</title>
<para>Create a new file <filename>/etc/sysconfig/keyboard</filename>
by running the following:</para>
<para><screen><userinput>cat &gt; /etc/sysconfig/keyboard &lt;&lt; "EOF"</userinput
>
# Begin /etc/sysconfig/keyboard
LAYOUT=&lt;path-to-keymap&gt;
# End /etc/sysconfig/keyboard
<userinput>EOF</userinput></screen></para>
<para>Replace <userinput>&lt;path-to-keymap&gt;</userinput> with the
path to the keymap you have selected. For example, if you have chosen the
US keymap, you would replace it with
<userinput>/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/us.map.gz.</userinput></para>
