- The Agafari ethiopic fonts from the source package were not included
- because it's a bit unclear whether they should be distributed. Please
- use Goha or GohaClassic if you want the Ethiopic script.
- See /usr/share/doc/console-data/fonts/README.Ethiopic for details.

- /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz
- ------------------------------
- The keymap is loaded very early during the booting process. It has to
- be set before any of the other init scripts that could fall to
- command-line.
-
- The first such script as of Debian 2.2 is /etc/rcS.d/S10checkroot.sh,
- which can spawn sulogin. Thus the keymap-loading script has to be run
- before this. Numbering of 05 has been chosen.
-
- This implies, as /usr may not reside on the root partition, that the
- keymaps in /usr/share may not be accessible at the point we want to
- load one of them. Thus we need to have the keymap in /etc itself
- (/etc/console-tools/default.kmap or /etc/kbd/default.kmap) - allowing
- a symlink into /usr for systems where this would make sense would
- needlessly complicate the system.
-
- But as many keymaps make use of the "include" feature, the chosen
- keymap should not be simply copied into /etc. Safe keymap
- installation can be easily achieved using install-keymap(8).
-
- If you wish to change the boottime keymap, you should edit
- /etc/console-tools/remap and add changes to an existing keymap
- there. Editing /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz is not recommended
- as you may lose your changes. If you do edit this file, then
- select 'do not touch keymap' from the debconf choices offered
- by console-data whenever you upgrade.
