Many thanks Mark. I will report again when I get that far.
This keyboard busines is something that has bugged me for a long time. It was only when I read clfs that I saw the possibility of building the keymap into the kernel. If it works in clfs then it works for bootdisks, bootable CD-ROM, bootable CF and anything else bootable. Wish I had known about this a long time ago. I learn a lot from clfs. Its a great book.
