Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
When one follows the normal installation-path (boot from disc, install
ubuntu) and one tries to specify another partition-layout, eg.
specifying a /home-partition, one has to enter the size of the
partitions wanted. However, ubiquity can't have any knowledge of the
keyboard-layout as this question is asked AFTER the partitioning! So
entering a number can go wrong.
If one uses an AZERTY-layout, one has to enter the numbers by means of
the shift-key. As the locale has not been properly set up, one has to
enter the numbers without using the shift-key. This is of course a very
minor issue. In order to solve this problem in the future I suggest that
setting the size of the partition can be done by means of sliders. (I'm
aware that specifying the partition-layout first can reduce
installation-time as the installer can start loading files as soon as
the partition-scheme has been determined)
