<para><userinput>--datadir=/usr/share/kbd:</userinput> This puts the kbd 
data files (fonts, keymaps, and such) in the /usr/share/kbd directory, as 
the FHS suggests.</para>

<para><userinput>rm 
/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/defkeymap.map.gz:</userinput> We
remove this file because we don't know which keymap you 
need to use.</para>

<para><userinput>ln -s &lt;path-to-keymap&gt; defkeymap.map.gz</userinput>
