Keyboard disposition selection during install under Natty

2011-01-28 Thread Alain-Olivier Breysse
Keyboard disposition selection during install under Natty.

During the installation process of Natty, keyboard disposition selection
comes after the partitioning step, possibly leaving the user with an
unusable international keyboard.
This is even more of a problem for regular user with no to little system's
knowledge.fra
Even after the location as been choosen (Montréal for me) and the install
language being French, the default keyboard disposition selected is France
which is plain wrong. If a user goes for automated portioning, doesn't pay
attention to the wrong default keyboard disposition and then select password
(blindly), this user will after installation be left with an usable system
since he won't be able to log into the system as the password after reboot
will be typed on a Canadian keyboard disposition, whenever the password has
been set on a French keyboard disposition.

Of course this is valid for other languages as well and needs to be looked
into.
