   <sect2 id="kbd-chooser"><title>Choosing a Keyboard</title>
<para>

Select a keyboard that conforms to the layout used for your national
language, or select something close if the keyboard layout you want
isn't represented. Once the system installation is complete, you'll be
able to select a keyboard layout from a wider range of choices (run
<command>kbdconfig</command> as root when you have completed the
installation).

Move the highlight to the keyboard selection you desire and press
&enterkey;.  Use the arrow keys to move the highlight &mdash; they are
in the same place in all national language keyboard layouts, so they
are independent of the keyboard configuration. An 'extended' keyboard
is one with <keycap>F1</keycap> through <keycap>F10</keycap> keys
along the top row.

On DECstations there is currently no loadable keymap available,
so you have to skip the keyboard selection and keep the default
kernel keymap (LK201 US). This may change in the future as it
depends on further Linux/MIPS kernel development.

There are two keyboard layouts for US keyboards; the qwerty/mac-usb-us
(Apple USB) layout will place the Alt function on the
<keycap>Command/Apple</keycap> key (in the keyboard position next to
the <keycap>space</keycap> key similar to <keycap>Alt</keycap> on 
PC keyboards), while the qwerty/us (Standard) layout will place the
Alt function on the <keycap>Option</keycap> key (engraved with 'alt'
on most Mac keyboards). In other respects the two layouts are similar.
