First thing to do is to look at line 1 of the file, e.g in 'view' or with 'zcat ... | head ' I'm on a box using kbd-1.14.1 and I get [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $zcat /lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/uk.map.gz | head # uk.map # From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri May 2 20:20:59 1997 # reduced number of keymaps, adapted to alt_is_meta - aeb # # old: shift keycode 41 = asciitilde # bam: shift keycode 41 = notsign # keymaps 0-2,4-6,8,9,12 alt_is_meta include "qwerty-layout" [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ I imagine the comments might be ignored in counting lines, but your results might be very different. If your uk.map.gz matches mine, perhaps kbd cannot handle the gzipped file for some reason. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce _______________________________________________ Clfs-support mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cross-lfs.org/listinfo.cgi/clfs-support-cross-lfs.org
