I had to use expert install to workaround this, the beta3 version has same problem as the beta2 I tried before. I have then a problem choosing keyboard layout, as I use a « dvorak-like » layout designed for french language, called « bépo » : this layout is very different from qwerty, azerty or either [english] dvorak, and so it's very difficult to use blindly an azerty or qwerty layout on a Bépo keyboard ! This causes problems entering root's password, simple user login and password, and also after the installation, to reconfigure the system to be able to use the correct layout [in fact, I installed default Gnome 3(?) desktop, and I wasn't used with this system, I was unable to find how to modify the layout nor how to open a terminal to do it with command line...]. For information, I also requested to add this layout for the Squeeze installer (see #550962), and Christian didn't find it pertinent, I hope this time will be the good one :-) The Bépo layout, community built as a free software, is fully integrated in Xorg since 2007 (has also drivers for Windows and Mac OSX systems), quite a lot of [french] developpers/users has at least heard about it, and is recognized by some ergonomic keyboard builders (Typematrix: http://www.typematrix.com, CECIAA: http://www.ceciaa.com/clavier-ergoneos-fort-contraste-disposition-bepo-c2391-7.php). Its user base, while difficult to estimate, seems to grow ; its community regularly do some demonstrations/presentations/stands in exhibitions (RMLL for example) to let it be known. More information about this layout is available at http://www.bepo.fr. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
