Geoff,

My slackware box does this by issuing the command:

/usr/bin/loadkeys uk.map

The keymaps are stored in: /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/

Don't know if knoppix is the same or not?

In X this is achieved using the line:

Option       "XkbLayout" "uk"

in InputDevice section of the XF86Config file.

Hope this helps
