Quoting Celejar (cele...@gmail.com): Thanks for your very detailed installation report. It contains much valuable information and I'll try a first attempt to use at least part of it > Initial boot: [O ] > Detect network card: [E ] > Configure network: [ ] > Detect CD: [E ] > Load installer modules: [E ] > Detect hard drives: [O ] > Partition hard drives: [E ] > Install base system: [O ] > Clock/timezone setup: [O ] > User/password setup: [O ] > Install tasks: [ ] > Install boot loader: [O ] > Overall install: [E ] > > Comments/Problems: > > 1) The installer allowed me to set a keymap and layout (us / dvorak), but > this > was not preserved in the actual install, which reverted to standard us. That's the secodn time we get such report.

Assigned to iso-scan.
