I forgot to mention, that XKBOPTIONS="lv3:ralt_switch" was also set
(correctly!), but I removed it by hand, because it was a bad decision.

I used the alternate CD and selected the language "Deutsch" (German) right at 
the start. But I didn't change the keymap. It gets set to "Germany" by default. 
I should have choosen "Swiss German". But I didn't.
Then I started the installer.... and it does not ask for language and area 
anymore. The German keyboard layout gets set.

Ok, now I realise that I should have choosed the layout "Swiss German"
right at the beginnig.


If I choose "English" at the start (and no changes to the keyboard layout), the 
installer asks me, in the first step of the installation, for my language and 
the area I live in. I can selceted the language "German" and the area 
"Schweiz", which works fine.

In my opinion this behavior is bad. Because in theory the language
settings of the installer could be different then the language of my
installed system on my harddrive. And It's not intuitive for a user that
the initial start screen settings before the installation will affect my
installed system.
