Description Si.S 2009-12-02 18:13:39 UTC

When minimal installation setup asks for keyboard pattern support and you choose azerty, you can't type the following sign : =

= is replaced by -

You have to type loadkeys fr to fix the problem.

it's not big deal but it should be easy to manage correct azerty support directly after boot.

The problem is currently only present in minimal installation iso, live dvd or live cd are not concerned.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. choose azerty when install asks for keyboard support ( 1 )
2. type : = (in the terminal )
3. 

Actual Results:  
= is replaced by -

Expected Results:  
when you type = , it should display =

Actually , it's impossible to get = typed except by typing loadkeys fr.

This can be very frustrating especially for beginners who don't know loadkey command.
