Hi,

During Slackware installation, the first thing I do is choose a console
keyboard.

Question: how do I change that once everything is installed? And how do I
eventually see the list of available console keyboards? I tried to run
pkgtool, but there is no script for that.

Cheers,

Niki Kovacs

I didn't mean the console font, but the keyboard layout. E. g. azerty,
qwertz.de, qwerty, that sort of thing. No way to find it.

Edit /etc/rc.d/rc.keymap

ls -R /usr/share/kbd/keymaps

The console keyboard setting is stored in /etc/rc.d/rc.keymap

> And how do I eventually see the list of available console keyboards?

You'll find all keymaps in this directory: /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/

This area is designed to become quite warm during normal operation.
