PURPOSE
=======
To document how to change the keyboard setting to your local country.



SETUP
=====
Roo Honeywall CDROM loads with default US keyboard settings, but Fedora 
Core system comes with many keyboard maps configuration files. If you want 
to change those settings, this can be done by editing the file 
/etc/sysconfig/keyboard which loads on startup. List of available keyboard 
maps can be found in /lib/kbd/keymaps/ directory.

For exemple if you want to switch to a french azerty keyboard, first list 
files in /lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/azerty/ to see which fr* maps are available. 
"fr-latin1.maps.gz" is available, so edit /etc/sysconfig/keyboard and 
replace KEYTABLE="us" by KEYTABLE="fr-latin1", then save and reboot. 
During the interactive initialization process you should see the line :

      loading default keymap (fr-latin1) ......... [OK]

As /etc/init.d/keyboard script is not present, there is most likely no
way to apply changes without rebooting. However, changing Fedora's 
/etc/sysconfig/keyboard to Mandrake's /etc/sysconfig/keyboard style works 
fine, and so should work the Mandrake /etc/init.d/keyboard script. We 
believe that there is no need to use a service script to apply changes 
without rebooting, as people usually set their own keyboard settings 
and never change them after




changing the system clock to local time :



System clock is set to GMT by default. To change this, you'll have to edit the /etc/sysconfig/clock to set the variable ZONE="filename" where filename is the path of your time file, in /usr/share/zoneinfo/



For exemple, if you want to switch time to French localtime, first check if "Paris" is available among the /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/ files. Then edit the /etc/sysconfig/clock file and change ZONE="GMT" (by default) to ZONE="Europe/Paris". Upon rebooting, your system localtime should be set to your value;
