and this is where i'm going to need some advice as to how to do
that. i've verified that the VM i'm playing with was in fact
configured with the AZERTY (french) keyboard by mistake.
so the impression i get is that, from within that VM console, i need
to adjust the keyboard mapping by running:
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-data
i first need to figure out the correct key mapping simply to be able
to type that command (not hard). but when i tried that, i'm told that
the console-data package is not installed.
so is the correct solution to install the console-data package in
the VM, then reconfigure as above?
