Hi, I just installed debian after having a bad experience with Mandrake 8.1. I've always used Redhat or Mandrake before this and never Debian so I've got a couple of problems that I haven't been able to find the answer to.
I started with Debian 2.2r2 and I've upgrade to sid. How do I change the keymap for the console (permanently) ? Should I edit /etc/init.d/keymap.sh directly ? I have to do 'loadkeys uk' after every boot. The modules for my sound card and USB ADSL modem don't load automatically on boot I've tried editing /etc/modutils/actions and running update-modules but without any success (not sure of the syntax). The soundcard is a SoundBlaster Value (emk10k1) and its a Speedtouch Modem. They both work fine once I run modprobe for each one but I'd prefer not to have to do it everytime I boot. I would like thank everyone involved in Debian for a stunning distribution and I don't know why I didn't change sooner. Thanks for any help. Nick Sanders
