I've installed DSL on a CF-HD. When I change the keboard settings to Swiss German it works after restarting XWindow. After restarting the system (new boot) the settings are lost and the default settings (US) are active.
How can I save the settings permanently ?

Regards
Beat

Put the command in /opt/bootlocal.sh, at least that works in a normal HD install.
