Today I used the 2006.1-minimal installation CD and with this I could change keymap without problems so apparently this problem is limited to the LiveCD. I just tried loading the same keymap on the x86 2006.1 LiveCD and it worked without a problem. I think I had a bad burn. New LiveCD works. Maybe implement a function like Ubuntu for testing the CD-integrity? Well, we do already ship the DIGESTS file, which can be used to verify the integrity. Well I downloaded it with bittorrent and it is self-checking, is it not? But I think I tested it against the digest since I was unsure about if my client did at the time. So either it was a bad burn (and I think it is this one since it was like that from the very beginning) or something got scratched, something that is imopossible to check with just that digest (and I think that is why Ubuntu have their "integrity-check".

Uhh... you can check it. All Ubuntu/Red Hat do is verify the CD against a checksum. You can run md5sum/sha1sum against a mounted CD. cat livecd-i686-installer-2006.1.iso.DIGESTS md5sum /mnt/cdrom =] Anyway, this isn't a discussion place, so I'll quit spamming everyone with these emails. |
At least the lastest two (including 2006.1) LiveCD have not loaded the keymap you specify during boot. Choosing se/32 gives me: >> Loading the ''32'' keymap loadkmap: /dev/vc/0: No such file or directory loadkeys sv-latin1 after bootup works.
