I'm not sure if this should be filed against anaconda or XFree86, but in X, all ticks (`) and backticks (') are being escaped and have to be typed twice. During install, I selected 104-key US and dead keys. The options put in XF86Config-4 by anaconda are: Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbModel" "pc104" Option "XkbLayout" "us_intl"
Changing component to XFree86
If you selected dead keys, this is expected behaviour - you can compose characters like `a and 'a (well, with the accents over the characters).
