Re: console keyboard setup question

Thanks!

with your hint I did an apt-cache search on "keymap" and found console-data, a 
dpkg-reconfigre console-data and subsequenty on console-common followed by a 
reboot got my keyboard set correctly.

My console still wont display umlauts though, I still need to figure out how 
to set that up.  I have chosen de-utf8 with dpkg-reconfigure locales, but I 
just want to be able to see the characters, not change the language of my 
system.
