Description Dirk Gfroerer 2004-11-13 11:45:34 UTC

Description of problem:
During installation I selected de-latin1-no-deadkeys as my keyboard.
This worked fine during the installation process and after firstboot
finished its tasks. However while configuring up2date to use the proxy
(in order to register the system on RHN) the keyboard mapping was US
english.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select de-latin1-no-deadkeys as keyboard mapping in installation.
2. Install, reboot, enter first boot
3. Try to configure the proxy settings for RHN. You end up with an
american keyboard mapping.
  
Actual results:
US english keyboard mappings.

Expected results:
de-latin1-no-deadkeys keyboard mapping.

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

I've done several RHEL 4U1 installs in the past now and I'm quite sure, the
problem does not exist in current versions any more.
