What about the following: - busybox applet that loads binary tables as you suggest - script in the busybox source that converts an ASCII table into its binary equivalent > The standard tool "loadkeys" has an option "-b" to create the the binary > key tables required by Busybox.

Sorry, my loadkeys man page does not document '-b': $ loadkeys --version loadkeys: (console-tools) 0.2.3 Regards, Yann E.
