Ummm, ok, I went to
ftp://ftp.terraplex.com/pub/updates/kernel/2.2.18/README
and the README says this:
To install kernel 2.2.18, run the following:
1) rpm -Uvh kernel-2.2.18-8a.ppc.rpm dev-* mouseconfig-*
2) Copy vmlinux to the location that yaboot looks for your kernel.
3) run mouseconfig and select your mouse
4) reboot (using the new kernel)
That's all. I'm not sure how mouseconfig is going to fix my keymap, but I'll
give it a whirl. Is this the REAME you were talking about?
