FWD: Report: 2.2.16 i386 build available for testing
Ok, this is the 3rd time I've seen the problem with it being unable to
load the kaymap. The other two were with boot-floppies I built with a
patched kernel, not the 2.2.16 test build, and so I disregared them
until now.
But it looks like a real, general problem. When I saw it, I had picked the
defaults when setting up the keyboard, and it gave the error he
mentioned. VT 3 said it was not a valid keymap file.
I then went to the shell, found the keymap tarball, unpacked it, and
verified the file it was trying to load existed and was nonzero. I
didn't get any further though.

Installed the idepci flavor on a 486-DX50 with 20M RAM and a wd80x3 10BT
NIC and a good (T1) net connection.
Damn near flawless.
Got this message when selecting the keyboard:
Error loading the keymap i386//qwerty/us.bmap from /etc/keymaps.tgz
And I installed no tasks.
But I did install ssh and am in fact typing this email on that new
potato box while logged into my slink++ box at home (from work).
Good job.
