	Hi all.

	I am a brazilian SysAdmin and, in order to make the accents of my
language work, I tried to install Dead-keys on my Linux Box. 

	All I did was change the (accent) -> (dead_accent) in the us.map
because my keyboard has International layout.

	Well, It didn't work... :( I am sending my /etc/init.d/boot for
purposes of "debugging", but...

	Thanks in advance


				Daniel.
