<para>If you decided to compile your keymap file directly into the kernel back
at the end of <xref linkend="chapter06"/>, then you strictly speaking don't
need to run this loadkeys script, since the kernel has already set up the
keymap for you. You can still run it if you want, it isn't going to hurt you.
It could even be beneficial to keep it in case you run a lot of different
kernels and don't remember or want to compile the keymap into every kernel you
lay your hands on.</para>

<para>If you decided you don't need to, or don't want to use the loadkeys
script, remove the
<filename class="symlink">/etc/rc.d/rcsysinit.d/S70loadkeys</filename>
symlink.</para>
