kbd?

[Michael Klinosky]

Ok, what's kbd?

Like control-center, I see that it's also installed. I tried running it, 
and I looked in /usr/bin.

The Package Manager states "Tools for configuring the console". So, how 
do I access them?

Logically kbd stands for keyboard, but I don't understand the context of this 
question.

Which FC version are you using? Are you using KDE, or Gnome. Probably KDE,as 
you mention control centre. You should find this on the main menu accessable 
from the taskbar.

Not sure what you're asking here. Can you be more specific about the 
particular package that makes the statement "Tools for configuring the 
console"

Michael,

It's just what it says...  A set of tools for configuring the console.  
There are several utilities in the package.  Unlike control-center, a 
single utility for doing many things, kbd is many things for doing many 
things.

Try rpm -q --filesbypkg kbd to get a list of files in the package.  The 
/bin/ and /usr/bin/ files are the utilities.  man the ones that sound 
interesting to you.

Sorry if this gets to the list twice.

Bob...
