Chapter 7.5 Console

I am curious about console because I use it a lot. Recently, however, on another linux session, I messed up the fonts and could not find the ones I liked. Also, knowing how to make this permanent is important to me.

"This section discusses how to configure the console and consolelog bootscripts that set up the keyboard map, console font and console kernel log level." Since I am in Europe, the euro  symbol is important (€,had to look that up, thank you Wikipedia!). So I will do this section, even though I normally use an American keyboard.

Looking at the examples, I chose the German one and replaced de with nl for Netherlands.
 root:/etc/sysconfig# cat > /etc/sysconfig/console << "EOF"
> # Begin /etc/sysconfig/console
>
> KEYMAP="nl-latin1"
> KEYMAP_CORRECTIONS="euro2"
> FONT="lat0-16 -m 8859-15"
> # End /etc/sysconfig/console
> EOF

There is a note about this not being relevent in the X window system, but in console mode only (not even xterm mode I guess).
