Hi, Christian, Frans,

I checked more carefully the keymaps
of the  "console-data" package currently installed on my ibook-
Version: 20060421 

and I found that the keymap

> /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/it.kmap.gz

is the right one! So my keymap is superfluous.

I've also found that such keymap is in the installer CD.

So /now/ the request becomes:

How can an ibook-user choose this keymap?
I tried a "normal" i.e. "not-expert" installation
and I was not able to choose or load the "/i386/qwerty/it.kmap.gz"
Is there an option of the installer that
allows users to find a keymap among _all_ the possible choiches
they have?
Perhaps it can be suggested in the "Installation Guide for Italian
powerpc users" that users have to follow a 
procedure to choose they keymap... or they have to run
the "expert" installation in order to choose their keymap.

1)During the installation the directory did not exist.
I found only /var/log/syslog

2)However
- I saved the log of the installer,
- I run the command you suggested
but the output was nothing.
* Perhaps I missed something. 
Frans, could you please be so kind
to suggest me a more detailed procedure?

Thanks,

Kind regards

Giovanni
