[Ani-users] Change in the keymap loaded by the linux kernel

[<jg...@so...>]

Hi,
=20
I would like to change the keymap who is loaded during the start of the =
linux kernel from deutch (qwerty) to french (azerty).
I have found the configuration in the file /etc/init.d/boot of =
manix.bz2, but I can't find a french key map to include with the =
archive.
I try xmodmap.fr from a  RedHat, but I have an error when it's loaded.

Is somebody who know where to find this ? Thanks for your help.

You can find additional maps in the kbd distribution, just download
the latest version and copy your keymaps into the
usr/lib/kbd/keymaps/i386 directory hierarchy: 
ftp://ftp.win.tue.nl/pub/linux-local/utils/kbd/

You will probably need the azerty dir and files from the include/ dir.
Then, you also have to modify the etc/init.d/boot script to load your
keymap (i think 'loadkeys fr' will be enough). 

cheers, alex
