Strange...Thanks, that's right.. I've got no boot prompt... I'll have a mess about with my start-up scripts... if that fails, is there nothing I can change in /etc ?Another option is to use the loadkeys command.
First exit from X from menu WindowManager->exit The from shell prompt loadkeys name_of_map_file startx
If that works for you, then add the loadkeys command to your /opt/bootlocal.sh[SOLVED]
Thanks for your help people, there's acuatlly another way to do this.
