Keyboard Settings

Installing Keyboard languages

if ssh is not already installed, add the following rpm

rpm -i RPMS/console-tools-19990829-36.i386.rpm

And edit the following lines in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard

KEYBOARDTYPE="pc"
KEYTABLE="uk"
or
KEYTABLE="us" (this is the default)

Loading alternate Keyboard maps interactively

Use the /bin/loadkeys command

eg. loadkeys us (loads us keyboard map from /lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/us.kmap.gz) eg. loadkeys uk (loads uk keyboard map from /lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/uk.kmap.gz)
