6.33.1. Installation of Kbd

Install Kbd by running the following commands:

patch -Np1 -i ../kbd-1.06-2.patch &&
./configure &&
make &&
make install

6.33.2. Command explanations

patch -Np1 -i ../kbd-1.06-2.patch: This patch fixes two problems. The first one is the loadkeys -d behaviour which is broken in current kbd versions. It is necessary to fix this, because the boot scripts rely on a proper loadkeys -d. The second part of the patch changes a Makefile so some utilities (setlogcons, setvesablank and getunimap) that are not installed by default, are installed as well.
