Update usr/lib/live-installer/frontend/gtk_interface.py

Need edit /usr/lib/live-installer/installer.py and /usr/lib/live-installer/frontend/gtk_interface.py to optimize installing national (non-english) keyboard layouts

Hi,

Wouldn't this install the US layout as well as the selected one? Why set up two layouts by default? Also you don't check if the selected layout is us in the first place...

Regarding the partitioning, why would you not format the / partition?

Also need to edit /usr/lib/live-installer/installer.py In many countries, such as Russia, traditionally used two layouts: US and National. Many people have the desire to use two keyboard layouts, as in Debian, Ubuntu or Windows. About format - it is often necessary to store the data, for example in the home folder

Ok, thanks for explaining.

I disagree with the pull request though for the following reasons:

• I think it's important for a clean install that / is wiped. I agree with the idea of preserving /home but that's exactly what a dedicated /home partition is for.
• If the user decides to have a second keyboard layout then it's something he/she should do on the desktop itself. It's easy to do in most DEs provided by Mint. I use French and Irish myself for instance. For most people though, it's completely superfluous to have two layouts installed as default and en_US isn't relevant to many people out there. The installer should install the keyboard layout chosen by the user during the installation and not second guess him/her and install something he/she probably doesn't need on his/her behalf.
