Well, I've put Knoppix 6.2 on an old laptop. Seems to run fine on the
itty bitty thing.
I've got it all set up the way I like except could not find a feature
to put the Ctrl key where it belongs.

Could not fnid the Xorg config filei (if that's what they're using)
nor where the default keyboard is kept.

I'm still poking around but in case someone has already found it I'd
be happy to hear about it.
I guess Xkb is the other way.

The latest versions of x.org don't create an xorg.conf file by default.
You can create one by running the command "X -configure".

Install xorg-docs and read what that says. In the file
/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base, I see an option called "ctrl:swapcaps";
you might be able to do something like this in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
[...]
Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
EndSection

Make sure X is not running when you make this change, and save your
original xorg.conf file someplace safe first.
