I've just finished building lfs-testing SVN-20050402 from the 6.0 boot cd.
Most things went fine and I have timing/size data that I will put together and post after bit. Right now the system is a plain LFS system with the only addition being ssl/ssh.
I have run into a keyboard problem that I'd like to share:
The backspace key is not working correctly in vim. It works fine at the console and in vim from ssh (actually its the same keyboard via a kvm). The keyboard is a plain us 104 key keyboard. I did not change /etc/sysconfig/console so loadkeys and setfont have not been run.
dumpkeys gives:
keycode 14 = Delete Delete
control keycode 14 = BackSpace
alt keycode 14 = Meta_DeleteWhich I believe is correct.
I can fix the problem with echo "keycode 14 = BackSpace" | loadkeys
but that doesn't seem right to me.
I have tried :set backspace=2 in vim, but that doesn't change anything. I have not changed /etc/inputrc.
The bottom line is that I can fix the problem, but I want to check to see if anyone else has seen this type of problem.
---------
Note:
In section 7.6, there is a command:
cat >>/etc/sysconfig/console <<"EOF" KEYMAP_CORRECTION="/etc/kbd/bs-sends-del" EOF
but the console script says:
if [ -n "${KEYMAP_CORRECTIONS}" ]; then
boot_mesg "Loading keymap corrections: ${KEYMAP_CORRECTIONS}..."
loadkeys ${KEYMAP_CORRECTIONS} &>/dev/null
evaluate_retval
fiEther the book or the bootscripts need to be changed so the variables are the same (CORRECTION/CORRECTIONS).
