How do I change the keyboard layout for terminal login.
I have installed Knoppix to my hard disk and have successfully updated the KDE settings from the default German to a UK layout.
The problem is that if I login to a non graphical terminal screen (CTRL-ALT-F1 etc.), the keyboard layout reverts to German, and I can't login because my password contains symbols that are now in a different place!
How do I fix this?
Thanks.

Look at this thread:
***http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=310
I am not at a knoppix box now, but look in /usr/share/locales/i18n/en_GB and you should find the info to use for your system default env file. Compare what is in the en_GB file with what I used from the en_US file.

I tried RockMumbles solution but /usr/share/locale/i18n/en_GB just seems to be a directory full of .mo (message files I think).
I've modified my /etc/sysconfig/i18n file to have "en" and "en_GB" instead of "de"/"de_DE" or "en"/"en_US" (because I wondered if I was in English but with a US keyboard map).
I really like knoppix but I like to have a nice working command line when I log in.
Has anyone else found any kind of fix for this elsewhere?

the keyboard is determined by a script.
/etc/init.d/keymap.sh
as root, edit the line:
loadkeys /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/us.kmap.gz
(I guess you want uk.keymap.gz)
and run
/etc/init.d/keymap.sh reload
(alter to suit the keymap you want)

I tried fingers99 fix (I found it on http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=310) and it definitely did the trick for me.
