Hi,
I use a Bépo French Keyboard (Typematrix). It is quite different from other French keyboards.
When installing a new system from LiveDVD or USB stick, I am not offered this choice for keyboard layout and it’s quite difficult to enter required information such as username, password, etc.
I tried to make a custom iso with kiwi. I was thinking that placing the layout in one of the the /root/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/ subdirectories of the configuration directory (overlay) would have been enough as I cannot find any possibility in the config.xml file. The result is that :
the file appears in the unpacked image — at the right place — after the first stage,
but it is not present in the name.version.squashfs
file in the result directory after create stage.
How comes the file disappears in the second stage (create)?
You can post in the “Programming/Scripting” forum which has become catchall, you can also post in the SUSE Studio forum since SUSE Studio is largely an online version of Kiwi.
I wouldn’t know for sure about an answer to your Q,
But I might start by finding a package for another keyboard layout already in the OSS, unpack it and inspect its contents. I’m sure it would contain the ingredients to what you are trying to do.

Thank you for your help and advice. I posted in the Programming/Scripting forum.
