Hi Adam,

This it not advisable: after "chroot /mnt/sysimage",
system-config-keyboard is not available :-(

I did this to have the comforts of the right keyboard layout! It is very
cumbersome to work with yz-/ and some more keys on a german keyboard
which is not correctly configured.

And when you say 'the keyboard
>> remains US', *where* exactly?

After a performed system-config-keyboard

Sorry, my mistake: I forgot to perform the chroot cmd. But an additional
question: what to do if yum itself is damaged? How to re-install it?

Kind regards
