I don't think not asking the question is the right answer. Asking about the keyboard layout during installation is the right thing to do; working with the wrong one is difficult and not everyone has a standard US keyboard. I think the problem is that the keymap names are kind of obscure, making

Hello, Chris. You wrote 18 сентября 2011 г., 12:03:34: I had read the rest of your post, and found it rather difficult to follow. The fact remains that every other installer I have ever used gives the user the choice of keymap, so I don't really understand your problem. IMHO, main problem
