Bug Description

In the installation process, the keyboard layout is only set at the end of the process. Thus, the user may be typing characters in the password fields of the Wifi, the encrypted installation or the user's password which are not the ones he wished to enter. This is an issue that main remain unnoticed untill a special character is typed. The point is that some users will need to perform a full reinstall because they don-t know which were the passwords they really typed.

It can be solved if the keyboard layout is the second option to be changed after selecting the language.
