On my machine /usr/share is 700M. and /usr without "share" is 1GB. "/" shouldn't get too much.

Keyboard problem
Hello, I installed 8.2 twice and this problem, too, was identical on both installations: After booting right into the X login, the keyboard's keys are all confused, for example: pressing 2 produces an f pressing q produces a y pressing TAB produces an r So typing in my password is _really_ difficult, but I figured it out. Within the desktop environment, I have to manually specify my desired keyboard layout each time. Any ideas?
