I looked for this in your bugzilla database and could not find this I
hope this is an anaconda issue as this was during setup.
I forgot to mention I did standard installation apart from my keyboard
layout and Dublin Location

I can confirm that firstboot doesn't use the keyboard layout
you've selected. We've installed 9 computers with FC2 and selected
'sv-latin1' as our keyboard layout, but still, firstboot uses
the US keyboard.

The layout works fine as soon as GDM starts.

Comment 4 Fred New 2004-10-13 10:36:42 UTC

This problem is still happening with FC3T3. The password created
during firstboot has to be corrected once the new system is available.
(I am using an Estonian keyboard.)

Comment 5 Pierre-Yves Berger 2004-10-16 10:05:32 UTC

It seems that firstboot uses the default keyboard layout proposed in anaconda for the 
language used for the installation. 
I tried French as installation language and I ended up with a french keyboard layout 
(AZERTY) instead of the swiss french (QWERTZU) I selected during anaconda setup.

The problem occurs during the whole initial setup but neither in anaconda nor in gdm.

This looks like a duplicate of bug 100686, which also has more info
and even patches. It also claims FIXED/RAWHIDE.

Please try upgrading to the latest release and seeing if you still experience
problems.
