At least the keymap loading however is crucial for all non-US layout
keyboards.  Otherwise, e. g. a German luser has a hard time finding
the / character needed to specify a mount point.  That's been the
basic reason why i once added the functionality for both, immediate
execution as well as remembering it for later use.

Screen maps, font loading etc. is another thing.  For the purpose
of installation, the default IBM cp437 font is certainly enough.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
