console keymapping


Hi y'all!

Recently i learned how to, and did, swap my caps lock and left control key in X, and I am starting to get used to it. I would like to know how to swap my caps&ctrl in just the console, but just for one user. I saw a way to do it globally, but I need suggestions on how to do it for individual users. Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated.

Ian
