Installation of Kbd

Kbd doesn't install some of its utilities (setlogcons, setvesablank and getunimap) by default. The kbd patch enables the compilation of these utilities. Apply the patch:

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

Prepare Kbd to be compiled:

./configure

Continue with compiling the package:

make

And finish off installing the package:

make install
