    i recently gave my laptop to another girl at work, with the debian
    install i'd done on it. what i forgot, however, was that i'd set it
    up with the dvorak layout (oops). this is no problem for X -- i just
    did a `dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86` and switched the layout. but
    for the instances when she needs to just use the console, i have to
    log in for her.

    i thought i could reconfigure this by doing a `dpkg-reconfigure
    base-config`, but it's not in there. how can i reconfigure the
    keyboard layout of the base install to be qwerty for her?

    thanks,

    </nori>
