[Wolves] keymapping

[Chris Procter]

I use the console.

Why run Xwindows just so you can run a couple of xterms and emacs
simultaneously when you can use screen and get the same result with far less
overhead. Of course I've always been a keyboard person rather then a mouse
man.

Maybe I'm just weird.

Blimey, do people use the console any more? The times I'm not in X,  I'm 
sshed into  the  machine,  and  therefore  using  a  different  keyboard 
without a broken space bar. I've  used  loadkeys  in  the  past,  but  I 
didn't understand it...
