21 !!DESCRIPTION
22
23
24 __keytab-lilo__ is a program which compiles keytable
25 definitions (in the format specified in __keytables(5)__)
26 into a format which can be used by __lilo(8)__ to set the
27 keyboard type when booting [[using the __keytable__
28 parameter in __/etc/lilo.conf__].
29
30
31 ''kbd_layout'' should be the name of a map file which
32 specifies the desired keyboard layout. This file may be a
33 __gzip(1)__ compressed map. If no file extension is
34 given, __.map.gz__ is assumed. If the full pathname is
35 not specified, __/usr/share/keymaps/__ is
36 assumed.
37
38
39 Since __lilo__ essentially needs to know the differences
40 between the BIOS keyboard mapping and the one you require,
41 the ''default_layout'' file should contain a
42 __keytables(5)__ file for the BIOS default mapping. If no
43 ''default_layout'' file is specified, __us.map.gz__ is
44 used.
45
46
47 __keytab-lilo__ writes the output translation table as a
48 binary string to standard output, so you should redirect it
49 to a suitable file. __lilo__ has no particular
50 restrictions on the name of keyboard translation files, but
51 the suggested naming convention and location is
52 __/boot/__''mapping''__.ktl__ (where __.ktl__
53 stands for
