!! Notes on Scientific Linux
[[http://www.scientificlinux.org/|Scientific Linux]] (SL) is a Linux distribution based on RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). There are other distributions derived from RHEL, the probably most prominent one is [[http://www.centos.org/|CentOS]]. I guess most of what is written here applies to any Linux distribution derived from RHEL.
!!! Changing the keyboard layout
* Use @@loadkeys@@ on the console like this: @@loadkeys de-latin1-nodeadkeys@@ (the file loaded is @@/lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwertz/de-latin1-nodeadkeys.map.gz@@)
* List all available keyboard layouts: @@find /lib/kbd/keymaps/ | sort | less@@
* The keymap loaded during system initialization is defined in file @@/etc/sysconfig/keyboard@@ (entry @@KEYTABLE@@)
* You can also use the GUI @@system-config-keyboard@@, if X is available.
