However, that does not mean a user can't choose another keymap from the lists shown by kbd-chooser. The list for AT does (for example) include a Dutch keymap: /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/nl.kmap.gz AFAICT, the full lists of available keymaps are listed in the templates installed from the various console-keymaps-*.udeb. They are build from console-data (which I know nothing about; maybe Christian can tell you more). </quote> Christian followed up on this with: <quote> Not only. The udebs leave some keymaps which are either considered obsolete or not used at all, but are kept in console-data most often for backward compatibility issues. However, as l-c main objective is covering what happens when a user chooses a keymap when installing Debian, restricting it to keymaps listed in the udeb's templates is a good idea. This will save you from tracking down information for keymaps which are indeed nearly never used. </quote> Cheers, Frans
