Hi Al,

I've tried booting Ubuntu 7.04 and at the very initial boot loader screen, 
before selecting 'Start or install Ubuntu' you can press F3 and select the 
desired country. Obviously if you select UK and then boot up the key mapping 
is then correct.

I not sure if there is a way you could permanently store this setting but I 
doubt it without a lot of hassle.

Regards,
Paul.
