I think a better solution would be to do this: # echo "control alt keycoard 101 = SAK" | /bin/loadkeys # dumpkeys > /etc/sysconfig/console/default.kmap And allow the normal Fedora Core start up process to load your new keymap file that is the same as the one you were using previously + your change. If you refer to /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, you'll see that using /etc/sysconfig/console/default.kmap is the preferred method of modifying the keymap that's loaded at boot time. I hope this helps. -- Chris "Build a man a fire and he will be warm for the rest of the night. Set a man on fire and he will be warm for the rest of his life." -- Unknown
