+1. Had to install (9.04) by removing laptop hard disk to USB caddy,
then use 2nd PC to install (laptop has broken cdrom + won't boot from
USB) This worked fine* however, the laptop has French keyboard layout,
but on boot to fresh install on laptop, X and console are still US
layout, easy enough to add/change layout in Gnome, but less so in
console/X.

Previously (xorg.conf) it would be a simple matter of editing the
relevant section, but now this is less than trivial - not least due to
there being no xorg.conf in the first place. Creating one would be a
solution, but not easy for everyone. I could have attempted to select
keyboard layout during install - but without knowing exactly which
variant layout the laptop has, entering username/password with layout B
then swapping to layout B could be tricky! Well it is now anyway as
login screen/console are US and Gnome Fr!

*Luckily I noticed the 'Advanced' option on final installer screen, or I
would have installed Grub to the temp host PC mbr and not the USB driver
being installed to!
