Hi, can someone please point me in the right direction.
I'd like to change the keyboard from us to uk, i'd tried using the "dsl keyboard" and I've tried sudo kbdconfig (which appears to do something) but when I reboot i still have a us keyboard, i've even changed us to uk in /etc/X/XF86Config, but still no joy, I guess I must be missing something fundermental :S
Thanks In Advance

YOU INSTALLED TO THE PSEUDO HDD IN QEMU?!!Not. Good. Idea.
That will KILL your flashdrive.
Or did you do a standard hdinstall?

He probably is not running dsl-installed to the pseduo harddrive, but maybe is running dsl-embedded-0.9.2. which provides a shared pseudo harddrive (hdb) and has no boot prompt. If so, the boot time options are still available by modifying the startup scripts, dsl-windows.bat, or dsl-linux.sh. Simply add the desired boot time option inside the append " " list of options.

Thanks, that's right.. I've got no boot prompt... I'll have a mess about with my start-up scripts... if that fails, is there nothing I can change in /etc ?

Another option is to use the loadkeys command.First exit from X from menu WindowManager->exit
The from shell prompt
loadkeys name_of_map_file
startx
If that works for you, then add the loadkeys command to your /opt/bootlocal.sh
