installing for non-us kbd

[Kirk Reiser]

Hi Saqib:  The best thing to do is install with the u.s. keyboard for
speakup.  When you are finished take a diff against the standard
u.s. keyboard with the speakupmap.map which you can get from
www.linux-speakup.org if you are not compiling your own kernel.  Cp
the speakupmap to the directory where the standard maps are kept and
type this:

diff -urN speakup.map standard.map >map.diff

Fill in the standard.map with the name of the map for the us
keyboard.  Then cp a copy of the uk.map to the standard map and type:

patch -p0 <map.diff

that should patch the new copy with your just taken map.  You can then
cp the new map back to whatever it was originally called.  I think
this is the easiest way to accomplish this.  You will then need to
type:

loadkeys new.map

to load the newly patched map.  Replacing new.map with whatever you
called your patched map.

good luck.
  Kirk
