This git repo is intended to be for the arch installer proper. Meaning that km doesn't belong there, since it is not part of the install scripts, but simply a part of the install CD. Live/Install CD's making use of the regular initscripts, for example, would not need this script to function as working installers. That said, km probably belongs in with archboot, since archboot generates CDs that make use of it. -S

Loading a non-US Keymap If you require a non-US keymap, you can use the km utility to load a new keymap. Just type km at the prompt, then use the arrow keys to navigate to the correct keymap and/or console font. this is a quote from our documentation. i think it belongs to install and not to archboot. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa@archlinux.org

I'm going to agree with Simo here. There is absolutely no reason our installer needs a different keymap. The running system (archboot) does, but the installer (/arch/setup) has nothing to do with a keymap. I think you may be combining the concepts of an "install CD" and the "installer".

Another way to look at it... Who types in 'km' at the prompt? Is it the installer (/arch/setup) or the user? To expand on Aaron's comment, if I was creating an arch chroot inside another distro, would I need km? Jason
