When I installed the LiveCD 1.4_rc4 I noticed that it is no longer possible to select your keyboard layout right after boot. This is relatively unimportant for localised versions of QWERTY (fr, de, it, no...) that have few different keys if any. Dvorak is instead totally different (has in common only the placement of A ond M), and making all the install process with trial-and-error keyboard input is quite frustrating. I managed since I use QWERTY at work, but I had a hard time anyway: I can imagine that 100% dvorak users may REALLY be irritated. I cannot exclude that this problem may happen also for other layouts, but have no material on that. Note: dvorak users see qwerty as linux users see windows. Please understand. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Set in the LiveCD... 2....start the computer... 3....and see that you get to the prompt with a us QWERTY keyboard layout. Actual Results: QWERTY loaded, fingers confused. Expected Results: It should have asked me which layout I wanted to use. I tried "loadkeys dvorak" during the installation but it didn't work... It should be very easy to fix, as this feature was already implemented until rc3.
try hitting F2 for boot options please. "gentoo dokeymaps"
Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux". I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers, this is the only reasonable way to do this.
