That does strip it down, but one could have just used a second piped grep 
to find the one for keyboard -configuration.
pi@picnc:~/kernel-rt-preempt/linux-rpi-4.9.y $ locate README.Debian|grep 
keyboard- -
/usr/share/doc/keyboard-configuration/README.Debian

Iiyyuupp. But only sorta. I ditched Amigados3.9. I've only ever owned one 
windows machine. I needed a lappy for when I was half-way across the 
country playing visiting fireman at the KREX complex in Grand Junction 
CO, or at WDHS in Iron Mountain MI.  Circuit City would not sell it to 
me with a clean hard drive so I was stuck with an OEM xp install. 
Buggier than a 10 day old road kill in August too. And by the time I 
loaded it to go to the airport, it had a ManDrake install on it. And the 
xp partition got nuked 2 weeks later when I found the windows drivers 
for its radio couldn't make it work either.  That thing has a pcmcia 
card with a bcm4318 on it in it, back when bcm was suffering from the 
winders only virus.  I called bcm, and they hung up when they heard the 
word linux, we don't support it, click. That blacklisted bcm in my book 
for over a decade. The only way to fix jerks like that is to cost them 
sales until such time as the sales dept gets the message.

Actually, my fav reader for such tomfoolery is less.  More can't scroll 
backwards.  Ya gotta love the *nix sense of humor. Less has everything 
More doesn't. :)

Thats not an editor, its an os competing with linux!
