Bug Description

Lots of troubles with Ubuntu 11.4 My other computer is a Desktop with a German Keyboard. at first I was asked what type
of Hungarian Key board I had.. Next try I was asked what kind of Swedish Keyboard. Both times installation failed.
Finally I lied and accepted USA keyboard and got Ubuntu installed correcting the key board after the fact.
