Bug Description

I have only tried thos with following CDs: Xubuntu AMD64 ALT-CD (Lucid and Oneiric)

In the beginning of the installation you are asked about what keyboard you are using. Im using a Swedish one and want to change from the default en-us keymap. There is two ways of doing it, choose from a list or try to identify by typing several uncommon keys.

Whatever method Im choosing it easy to find the Swedish keymap. But even when the new kemap is found and confirmed, the us keymap is still used and it is no way of changing it utill the installation i finished.

This is of extra importance when choosing password for a encrypted LVM. The password you are typing, is not the same as the one you are getting. (And everyone can see the problem in that.)

I dont know if other languages or CD-images is affected.
