That depends on what you would like to do with the box that runs the
busybox-based distro. You don't vitally need to set up a keymap, but if
you do you may change the layout of the keyboard (which is a big
enhancement if you live in Germany for example... that y/z thing is
really ugly :) ).

What I did maybe is not the shortest way, but it actually worked fine
for me. I used the program that is used on my debian box to alter the
keyboard layout on the bb-based box. Then I dumped the current keyboard
layout using the busybox code (don't remember the actual name of the
command... damn) into a file. After that I dropped the "debian tools"
from the box and set up a script in /etc that uses the dumpfile as input
for the modification of keyboard layout (a bb command which I remember
the name of, too).

Hope this helps a little. If not write back a short line, I will tell
you more as soon as I'm in office on monday.

Bye, Mike
