Description Alex Kanavin 2008-05-14 07:48:36 UTC
Description of problem:
When choosing russian language and keyboard during Fedora installation, firstboot is using that keyboard 
layout as a default, and provides no way to input latin characters (toggle-layout key combination, which is 
pressing both shift keys, does not work either). This results in being unable to create a user, or do any 
other configuration which involves text input. I believe users from Greece, Ukraine or any country with 
cyrillic alphabet will have a similar problem.
