Changing non-US keyboard layout in Virtualboxes.org images

I wanted a quick Ubuntu server installation and installed the 10.04 server installation from virtualboxes.org.  Unfortunately for me, the keyboard layout wasn't correct and I wanted to change it.  Not being very well versed in Linux and all it's ins and outs, I wasn't sure how to do this.  I found out that you can change your keyboard configuration by using the following command:

dpkg-reconfigure console-setup

I ran through a few steps and now have a nice and easy to use US keyboard again.
