Keyboard Mapping - Not loading

I sucessfully installed Arch, I'm trying to modify my default US keymap, to remap the Caps Lock to Control.

I have been using the following guide for reference:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Li … figuration

I cloned the keymap

 sudo cp /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/us.map.gz /usr/local/share/kdb/modified.map.gz 

and modified the map by changing

keycode  58 = Control 

I'm trying to load modified keymap

sudo loadkeys /usr/local/share/kbd/keymaps/modified.map

I'm not able to get the change in the keymap.

Second question,

The guide points out that:

A persistent keymap can be set in /etc/vconsole.conf

I dont have the file in my arch, do you guys have it by default? do you create it? what else do you guys have in there?

You create the file.

Not an Installation issue, moving to NC...
