hi. it is stepping out a bit from the remit of afterboot(8), but we could rework the whole "Set keyboard type" section. most of the info there could be removed in favour of just keeping the pointer to kbd(8). so if you want to have a try at a diff, i'd say aim for: - no longer than the current section - remove most of what's there already - briefly list the main things that can be changed and respective docs jmc
