Hello
I am working on this now, the support is very basic, but I think the most important symbols are remapped.
I created a scripts that generated *.ktl files from [kbd] package using keytab-lilo. I also patch this program in this script, so can use map thats needs unicode.
https://gist.github.com/1187908
In some cases we have: * two maps versions one non-unicode and other unicode. * Non-unicode and other unicode but them are the same (keep with one) * one map non-unicode only * one map unicode only * nothing because conversion fails.
The script also makes syslinux submenus (in a really basic way, no fancy titles), also converts filenames to be more ISO-9660 friendly.
So the steps to implements this are: * Make a package from generated files from the script. * Install this package in build.sh * Copy kbdmap/ directory (from installed package) to syslinux/ directory. * Add to syslinux.cfg these lines: --------- MENU BEGIN kbdmap MENU LABEL Change Keyboard Map INCLUDE kbdmap/kbdmap.cfg MENU END ---------
After you selected the desired keymap, syslinux drops to boot: prompt, just hitting enter, returns to main menu (do in this way for now, at least at this moment I can not find a way that does not reset keyboard remap)
is it possible to also use the same keymap during initcpio, and in the real userspace, if a choice is made in syslinux? Dieter
