No! The mac tree is entirely obsolete, powerpc uses linux (i386) keycodes. Unless you have a pre-2.2 kernel, look in /usr/share/keymaps/i386/ for keymaps. The one I use is qwerty/mac-usb-us, that is 'Select from arch map / US American / Apple USB' in the console-data list. The choice takes effect right away. -- Debian GNU/Linux Operating System By the People, For the People Chris Tillman (a people instance) toff one at cox dot net
