patch to hb-install-medium.xml
I thought that the keymap selection was done automatically on boot now (at least it does on an experimental 2004.0 prelease LiveCD). Anyway, I wouldn't write the second "To load a keymap, use <c>loadkeys</c>." as you already mentioned that in the paragraph right above. Perhaps write something like "Now load the keymap of your choice:"? Neither the keymap is selected automatically nor you can select one (like on the 1.4 LiveCD). I just copied the loadkeys part from ppc ... Created attachment 26830 [details, diff]

So something like this?
If it's indeed using "loadkeys", then yes, this patch is correct. I'm still a bit hesitant though... Sigh, I need (1) bandwidth to download LiveCDs and (2) a VMWare license :p CC'ing release@g.o Indeed, a VMWare License would be a cool thing ;) This looks good to me, however we should have fixed this bug :-/. We'll see if we can fix it or apply a workaround in an init-script that asks the user something like "enter your keycode : de, be, fr...whatever". Thanks for the heads up, guys. Sorry that you have to clean up the mess we left... Watch out for multi-arch keymap issues, if you're adding things to initscripts :-) Shall i commit this patch and a) mark this as RESO/FIXED or b) reassign this bug to livecd@g.o? Commit and reassign. Otherwise livecd@ has nothing to do :p /me ducks Committed, reasssigned to livecd@g.o *** Bug 43973 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Will be (is already?) fixed in genkernel-3.0.2-rc1 *** Bug 40353 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** its fixed in the stable version of genkernel, so it will be fixed on the next livecds. |
