    there was an interesting idea of compiling
    the keyboard map into the kernel with

    loadkeys -m [path to keymap] > \
        drivers/char/defkeymap.c

    This has been exclude from 
    clfs 1.1.0-rc1-x86 7.10. Linux-2.6.24.7

    Anyone know why? Was it not successful?
    What is the alternative now?

    There is a ticket #56 in Track but I do
    not understand the reasoning.

  You don't need the keymap built into the kernel, kbd handles all those functions, without modifying the kernel.


  Yes, but kbd is not installed until 10.38.1
  I should be able to boot at the end of chapter 7.
