Thanks baldyeti!! I saw that line while tinkering in isolinux but wasn't sure if I needed to supply a new keyboardmap file or not.

As for firefox, I will probably update it when I upgrade KDE to 3.2- sometime in the next week or two. Gotta get everything straightened out in this iso first though. Browser plugins were a major pain. I couldn't get flash working in firebird 100% because of of gcc incompatibilites- almost ditched it for opera. The current flash plugin doesn't work with new mozilla-based browsers.

Does anyone know how Knoppix manages to allow su to root without a password? I tried to make an alias in .bashrc for su='sudo su' but it doesn't work. And its only in KDE where the user knoppix is prompted for a password when trying to su.
