I am giving Fedora 16 a spin but have a problem early on. It installed fine. The installer wasn't very good, but that is another story. When Fedora asked for my user name I had a problem. It would not type the letter y. Instead it gave me a z. Lots of letters were mixed up. I went ahead with the installation because by that point it was already on my system because Fedora asks for your user name post-installation.
When I got in I found the keyboard was set for Switzerland and my timezone was set for there too. I am 100% sure that I selected Toronto because it was set for New York as default and I scrolled down the list to get Toronto. I also remember setting the keyboard to US because I always have language and keyboard setup different from the default (keyboard US, language UK). Anyway, I got in and could not type much. I changed the keyboard to US. Here is the problem: none of my passwords work because of course they are just dots and I cannot see and the password I gave is unknown because of the keyboard switch. That goes for both user and root. I can switch the keyboard back to Switzerland to get root access but I can't type anything worthwhile. I could change the root and user password if only I knew what they were. :) Any suggestions?
