I did a similar thing, but internationalised it to allow a change in settings.s
to change keyboard country code rather than require
modding rc.custom every time one moved country, viz:
I have edited rc.custom and settings.s to allow a local default keyboard
setting of UK == 21 to be applied, thus:
/settings.s:
.....
KB=21 <<<< This MUST go BEFORE the #AUTO# Line.
.....
1/rc.custom.gz:
.....
echo P>P
export KB <<< additional line
sh<<'X'&
read -p "
1 be 4 dk 7 fr 10 is 13 la 16 pt 19 sf
2 cf 5 es 8 gr 11 it 14 no 17 ru 20 sg
3 de 6 fi 9 hu 12 jp 15 pl 18 se 21 uk
Select keyboard, ENTER for default($KB) (15 seconds): "
J</dev/tty1>/dev/tty1
[ "$KB" -a ! "$J" ]&&loadkeys $KB.map <<< additional line
[ "$J" ]&&loadkeys $J.map
rm P
X
(sleep 15;kill $!;[ -f P ]&&loadkeys $KB.map;rm P)2>$NU& <<< modified
line
