A user only needs to create this script if he don't have a default 101 keys US keyboard layout. Create the /etc/init.d/loadkeys script by running the following command: cat > loadkeys << "EOF" #!/bin/sh # Begin /etc/init.d/loadkeys # # Include the functions declared in the /etc/init.d/functions file # source /etc/init.d/functions # # Load the default keymap file # echo -n "Loading keymap..." /bin/loadkeys -d 2>/dev/null evaluate_retval # End /etc/init.d/loadkeys EOF
