## Installation of Kbd

By default some of Kbd's utilities (`setlogcons`, `setvesablank` and `getunimap`) are not installed . The patch enables the compilation of these utilities:

    patch -Np1 -i ../kbd-1.08.patch

Now prepare Kbd for compilation:

    ./configure

Compile the package:

    make

And install it:

    make install
