Uhm... why must I copy the lines for the font, also ?

And why does this work ? Now "Loading /etc/default.keytab" isn't
printed anymore; I have the feeling that the line isn't executed at all.

Also, why is the keymap loaded twice (once during linuxconf's booting
as:

    ...
    x    Executing: /bin/loadkeys de-lat1-nd
    x        * Loading /usr/lib/kbd/keytables/de-lat1-nd.map
    ...

and then a second time with

    ...
    x    Executing: /bin/loadkeys /etc/default.keytab
    x        * Loading /etc/default.keytab
    ...

in the normal boot process ?

:-) How about copying the FAQ-Wizard from the python WWW site. Then
everyone could post a FAQ (with answer).
