[lubuntu-users] bug #1549529, failure to install a non-US-English keyboard

[Nio Wiklund]

Hi Phill,

I found a workaround for bug #1549529:

If you install Swedish language in the live session *before* starting 
the installer, it works to get Swedish keyboard in the installed system.

Maybe you should include it in the release notes. (I think it applies to 
several minor languages, not only Swedish.)

Best regards
Nio
