8 It worked ! I was able to type something usefull for once ;-)
9 I was able to change the keymap without recompiling my gentoo , you guys
10 saved me a lot of trouble !
11
12 I used the full keymap path in rc.conf and it seems to work great. I've
13 emerged console-data and picked mac-us-ext.kmap.gz as the default
14 keymap. What keymap do you guys use ?
15 This one works, but there seem to be some little quirks : I can't ctrl-c
16 a running process. I can use ctrl-c in nano perfectly. And switching
17 consoles is command-fn F1 instead option-fn F1.
18
19 Anyway, I'm delighted I can start using my gentoo !

21 Thanks a lot for your prompt and very helpfull advice Joerg and Olivier.
