Just a quick question.  Had to redo my whole Hard Drive in order to get
OS 9 back in and bootable.  But in doing this I decided to change the
keymap I used for debian to an apple_usb_keyboard.  And that Solved my
virtual console problem.  But then I messed up my linux system again,
and had to reinstall it, now I can't  figure out how I changed the
keymap.  I've run base-config many times, I've even reinstalled in order
to get the procedure exactly, as far as I could remember, to what it
was, but I have not been able to crack this, could someone point me in
the right direction?

dpkg-reconfigure console-common, or console-data, if I recall correctly.

dpkg-reconfigure console-data worked like a charm. Thankyou, this is a problem that has been plaguing me since I first posted "virtual terminal" back on the 21st. That was only 8 days ago but seems like forever. So I am folowwing up incase anyone has a similar problem. I have a macally iMediakey usb keyboard, and in order to get the functionality of "virtual consoles" that the Woody installer talks about, I had to use the Apple USB Keyboard (Second Option) and the keys that work are left ctrl+cmd + F1, F2, or F3. Standard USB Keyboard (Option 1) did not map those keys right. I never looked at the output, (if there is any) or the keymap bindings, (that I've read about) but this is just so the information is out there for others
