Keyboard Configuration

Choose the keyboard model that best fits your system (see Figure 3-2). If you cannot find an exact match, choose the best Generic match for your keyboard type (for example, Generic 101-key PC).

Next, choose the correct layout type for your keyboard (for example, U.S. English).

Creating special characters with multiple keystrokes (such as Ñ, Ô, and Ç) is done using "dead keys" (also known as compose key sequences). Dead keys are enabled by default. If you do not wish to use them, select Disable dead keys.

To test your keyboard configuration, use the blank text field at the bottom of the screen to enter text.

Once you have made the appropriate selections, click Next to continue.

TipTip
 

To change your keyboard type after you have installed Red Hat Linux, as root use the /usr/sbin/kbdconfig command. Alternatively, you can type setup at the root prompt.

To become root, type su - at the shell prompt in a terminal window and then press [Enter]. Then, enter the root password and press [Enter].
