Bug Description

This bug seems to be present on Live CDs for quite some time and Gutsy/Tribe 5 still has it.

Steps to reproduce:
- Boot from Live CD
- Press F3 and select keyboard layout, in my case Slovenian
- Select "Start or install Ubuntu" and press F6 to correct boot options, in my case, I have to add "noapic" option
- Try to type "noapic", it won't work. Only letter "i" shows up.

I don't know about other keyboard layouts but for Slovenian it doesn't work. Leaving it to US English, works like it should.

This seems to be fixed in Hardy Alpha-6. Can someone else check if it is ok?

I missed this because it was on the wrong package, sorry. The Slovenian problem was bug 196045 and is fixed. The Belgian problem is not connected; please file as a new bug on gfxboot-theme-ubuntu if it persists in the 8.04 beta release once that's out.
