Package: debian-installer Severity: minor Hi,
I've been giving a try to the beta3 installer today (I had to quickly install a system in a vmware, so...) and was wondering about something. How unusual is it for people to use a computer that is not from their country ? How does it compare to people that use a computer from their country in another one ? Let me explain. At the very beginning of the install, the user is asked for the language for the installer. Then, he is asked for the country he is in, with the default choice being the most probable one considering the language. Finally, he is asked what kind of keyboard he is using, with the default choice being the most probable one considering the language. Wouldn't it make sense to have as default choice the most probable one considering the country, instead ? Use cases: I'm an english speaker, installing Debian in France. My PC is french too. I choose the english language and then set the location in France. It would make sense to preselect the french keyboard, wouldn't it ? I'm french, installing Debian in Japan. My PC is japanese. I choose the french language and then set the location in Japan. It would make sense to preselect the japanese keyboard, wouldn't it ? Now, back to the original question, is this more likely to happen than french people installing their french laptop in a foreign country ?
