Creating the loadkeys script

You only need to create this script if you don't have a default 101 keys US keyboard layout.

Create the /etc/init.d/loadkeys script by running the following command:

cat > /etc/init.d/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

#
# Include /etc/sysconfig/keyboard which contains the LAYOUT variable
#

source /etc/sysconfig/keyboard

#
# Load the default keymap file
#

echo -n "Loading keymap..."
/bin/loadkeys $LAYOUT 2>/dev/null
evaluate_retval

# End /etc/init.d/loadkeys
EOF

cat > /etc/sysconfig/keyboard << "EOF"
# Begin /etc/sysconfig/keyboard
 
LAYOUT=<path-to-keymap>
 
# End /etc/sysconfig/keyboard
EOF
