That's how I do it: (The toolkit for console/keyboard manipulations in Gentooo is kbd) In /etc/rc.conf, you should set KEYMAP, CONSOLEFONT and CONSOLETRANSLATION. For keymap, there are several choices. Personally, I use a version of "ru-ms" changed so that my backspace key sends "Delete" (the line that does it is commented in the original ru-ms.map) Or you can use one of the ru*.map's you like best. The console fonts for KOI8-R included in kbd are inevitably ugly, so if you don't like them, you can load the Cyr_a8x16 font and, as it's for cp866, load the koi2alt translation. The distros like RedHat use a font called 'cyr-sun16' which looks very nice, so you could as well take it from a RedHat package and use it. (Then you'll need the 'koi8r' unimap) As for l18n, I created a /etc/env.d/91locale file: -- LANG=ru_RU.KOI8-R -- -- With best regards, Alexander V. Svadkovsky
