anaconda is setting the right thing, but the keyboard description in kbd has problems
I have got the same problem and solved it with lat9w-16 for the moment. But the problem is not solved yet full as the UTF-8 is missing ! Also expect problems with UTF-8 in mixed networks. Try ssh from a RH9-server with UTF-8 version activated to a RH7.3-server running without UTF-8. How this can be handeled ?
no warnings with fc2-test1 and kbd-1.12-1
