+<sect2><title>Configuring your keyboard</title>
+
+<para>Nothing is more annoying than using Linux with a wrong keymap loaded
+for your keyboard. If you have a default US keyboard, you can skip this
+section. The US keymap file is the default if you don't change it.</para>
+
+<para>To set the default keymap file, create the 
+<filename class="symlink">/usr/share/kbd/keymap/defkeymap.map.gz</filename>
+symlink by running the following commands:</para>
+
+<para><screen><userinput>cd /usr/share/kbd/keymaps &amp;&amp;
+ln -s &lt;path/to/keymap&gt; defkeymap.map.gz</userinput></screen></para>
+
+<para>Replace &lt;path/to/keymap&gt; with the your keyboard's map file. For
+example, if you have a Dutch keyboard, you would run:</para>
+
+<para><screen><userinput>ln -s i386/qwerty/nl.map.gz defkeymap.map.gz</userinput></screen></para>
