g'day to all: i'm rather new - not only to the list. searching the archiv, lurking the list, studying several man-pages didn't help me to a solid keymap right from start-up/login.
startup-messages are telling that there is a "Loading /etc/console/bootime.kmap.gz", but for log-in i've to type "2´´3" instead of "root", "8" instead of <enter> etc... to get my (german) keymap back i've to do each time a # u9li<esc>21m´<space>ü5i621<capslock>m´<space>o`j1<esc>u+3+ as transscription to # dpkg-reconfigure console-data after choosing the "qwertz-adb-standard-latin1"-keymap debian is loading the /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz (again?) and i can use my keyboard as usual. may be there's just a tiny lack because of very-second-language-English that prevends me from normal use: in former times (when there was "kbdconfig" available ...) i didn't run in problems like this. any help will be accepted. equipment: PowerMac 7500/G3/400 keyboard ADB-ext-II/d 2.2.19/unstable regards robert -- Was sieht man wirklich, und was erscheint einem nur so, als sähe man es?
