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. -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
