Hello all

# Problem
The Keyboard Layout settings which in my case is French (azerty) are not taken
into account
until very late in the installation process

# Problem Details
In the "Languages" window screen during the installation I selected
Language = English(US)
Keyboard Layout = French

I see "Downloading language extension" message.


In the "Installation Settings" window
the section "Keyboard window" indicates French but the keyboard layout is still
mode
"querty"

This is very annoying .... try making a custom partition setup when the
keyboard
configuration is set "querty" when you have a "azerty" key board - I can never
remember
where to look for "/" or "+" under "querty" settings.

In the "Create New User" window, keyboard layout is still mode "querty"

In the "Password for the System Administrator "root"" window the Layout
settings are
correct (in mode azerty).

My tests show that the keyboard Layout settings changes made in the
"Languages" window screen (which is the very first window one sees during the
installation process) are not taken into until "Password for the System
Administrator
"root"" window.

Note : 11.0-Alpha2 was installed using the 11.0-Alpha2 DVD which was made from
the
openSUSE-11.0-Alpha1_Alpha2-DVD-i386.delta.iso

# other details
md5sum openSUSE-Alpha2-DVD-i386.iso

Any help or comments appreciated

Regards
James
