Lili, in gnome-control-center I see the following Chinese keyboard layouts:

Chinese (Intelligent Pinyin)
Chinese
Hanyu Pinyin Letters (with AltGr dead keys)

Only the first one is rejected by Anaconda, the other two are accepted. Is "Chinese (Intelligent Pinyin)" a layout that is essential for (some) Chinese users to perform the installation, or can the other two be used as well? (Bear in mind that a different layout, including Chinese (Intelligent Pinyin) can be set up in gnome-initial-setup after the installation is over -- I'm asking just about the installation phase). I'm trying to understand if the current Anaconda limitation is something that would seriously affect some of our users. Thanks.

Kamil,

np, or I would propose this bug as a blocker already;)

yeah, I know

I just consider this as a good-to-have feature:)
