Setting the console codeset

To set the console codeset, log in as root, invoke the International Settings Manager, and:

  1. Select Codeset from the Settings menu.

  2. Select Console from the Codeset submenu.

  3. Select the name of the codeset you want to use and click on OK.

  4. Select Save from the File menu.

  5. Exit the International Settings Manager.

  6. Reboot the system.

The system console is not actually a single device, but rather a combination of both the console keyboard and the console monitor. Selecting the console codeset will install a console font (see vidi(C)), establish the list of available system keyboard mapping files, and establish any additional mapping required if the console codeset is not the same as the internal system codeset.
