1) Changing keyboard layout for the console window
Edit /etc/sysconfig/keyboard and set KEYTABLE and LAYOUT variables accordingly. For example, the following settings enable US keyboard:
KEYTABLE=us
LAYOUT=us
As another example, the following settings enable Estonian keyboard:
KEYTABLE=et
LAYOUT=ee
The possible values for KEYTABLE variable are keymaps located in /lib/kbd/keymaps/i386
As an alternative, change the layout with the loadkeys command, for example:
loadkeys et
The parameter for the loadkeys is the keymap from /lib/kbd/keymaps/i386
The 'loadkeys' command sets the keymap until the next reboot
2) if you want to run the virtual machine in bridged mode, change the MAC address of
the network card (if you haven't done this already) -- otherwise there will be MAC
conflicts if several virtual machines are running simultaneously
a) set network adapter mode from NAT to Bridged Adapter
b) under Advanced -> MAC Address section, regenerate the MAC
c) in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules, delete the entry for the previous MAC address and replace 'eth1' with 'eth0' in the entry for the current MAC address
d) in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0, change the HWADDR for eth0 to the new MAC address, or comment out HWADDR
