------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-19 15:00 ------- Thx. Well for network installs, the URL must be typed when in console mode, where we don't have multiple keyboard layouts (and we won't have it, probably: it takes diskspace on boot floppies (where space is very important) and we can assume that people doing network installs are expert enough to be able to type in the URL in american keyboard layout, even if slowly). That would be not so easy and no so good GUI, IMHO. Well that should be possible but much overloading the languages selection step :(. Thx.. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: This has always bugged me a bit with the install process (in previous versions, too). I use Linux in English, but on a French laptop. Unless I (as an uninitiated user) know beforehand that I need to also choose French (or, in fact, any second language), I can't choose a French keyboard during the install process. Since the installer allows *any* keyboard layout to be chosen, as long as more than one language was picked (very nice option!), why not have a keyboard selection as a part of all installs? At the very least, it would serve to confirm a user's configuration and allow them a chance to tweak if needed. For example, "US keyboard (international)" is a very useful choice -- but it isn't language dependant. Yet unless I've already chosen another language, I don't have that choice during the install. Always having a keyboard layout confirmation step as a part of the localization process seems natural. And placing it before the "License" step would further bind it with the language selection.
