I am very satisfied with the new version of DSL, and the inclusion of a keymap selection in the xsetup.sh script is an improvement! The only problem is that when I choose keyboard no-standard, which should load no-standard.kmap.gz, it loads no.kmap.gz instead. This keymap does not show the nordic letters æ, ø, å correctly. It should be a minor fix I guess, but it should be fixed! I guess I could make a local fix for myself also, but I don't know where the xsetup.sh is located. Anybody knows? Or maybe it wouldn't help just editing this script? I don't know. But if I press Ctrl+Alt+Backspace and type loadkeys no-standard.kmap.gz, the correct keymap is loaded. I have put this in my bootlocal.sh, so that also works fine. But if I use a computer (I have DSL installed on USB, frugal-USB install) with a USB-mouse, and that doesn't work, I need to run the xsetup.sh script again, and then I get the wrong keymap.

The keyboard selector is the standard one from Knoppix.
The xsetup.sh just calls this script.
kbdconfig is located at /usr/sbin/kbdconfig

The actual file on the right should be the one loaded.
Any input you have to correct this will be appreciated.

Thanks! I will look into it and see if I can find a solution.

doesn't work very well for me either. Using be-latin or azerty.
But after selecting it about 5 times (going trough that procedure) it started working.

It seems very strange... I tried to look at the kbconfig file, but I couldn't find anything there. It looks like a general selector. I really cannot understand this! the no.kmap.gz, no-latin1.kmap.gz and no-standard.kmap.gz all are in the same folder, so why it will always pick no.kmap.gz when one of the others are chosen is beyond me...
