I have had spotty luck with a Kubuntu live CD for installations. I have
found the more reliable path is to install a stock Ubuntu first (sans
KDE) and then install the kubuntu-desktop package. I've also had better
luck with the alternate install disk, or the net-install disk.
When the Kubuntu live CD installation fails for me, it's always
something minor in the setup. Like the keyboard is messed up, or a
bunch of packages didn't get installed. But I never diagnosed this to
see if it was just a networking hiccup while retrieving packages, or
something else. It was just faster for me to do a rebuild.

No... I installed Kubuntu so it should already be KDE.
I suspect it might be a French Keyboard as well! But I don't know why. I am
French and maybe they peaked at my birth certificate! I am use to the American
English Keyboard and I prefer to stay that way.

Sounds like your box is treating the keyboard as a french keyboard. I'm
assuming you are using the default desktop (which is Unity these days).
In which case... well, I dislike Unity, so immediately switch to
gnome, but only long enough to install the KDE desktop (via the
kubuntu-desktop pacakge). So... find where your Locale settings are
(date/time format, etc.). You can should be able to select your
language and keyboard settings here.

The Keyboard locale is set for en-us UTF-8 but some of the keys are not mapped
properly.
Its an IBM PC-104 KB... standard which I've used for over a decade.
for instance the ?/ key gives a little e and a big E with I think two (2) dots
on it. the ~` key gives * and some thing else.
How can I fix this. My next option is to give up on Kubuntu and go to Debian.
I think a HUGE number of packages I expect to be installed are missing anyways.
Comments? Why is Ubuntu so great?
