All you need to do is replace your current keymap. Distributions do this
different ways, but somewhere in the files in your /etc hierarchy is a
pointer to which keymap to use. On Debian:
/etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz
is the keymap used from boot forward. I always swap Ctrl and Caps Lock
keys on my keyboards (drives my wife crazy). The keymaps to choose from
are at:
/usr/share/keymaps
Assuming you're running an Intel chip, your Dvorak layout would be in the
/usr/share/keymaps/i386/dvorak
subdirectory. You simply copy one of those to the aforementioned /etc
location and reboot. (Actually, you can remap on the fly, but I'm not
familiar with the procedure enough to describe it.)
