 When installing (or upgrading) r1a3 from a CD and choosing another
 language than English, the default keymap is set to Custom. When installed
 or upgraded, the Haiku keymap will be US-International.

 What is Custom supposed to do? The user will probably think that Custom
 means the keymap for the language, or when upgrading, the same as before
 the upgrade.

 If I remember, the keymap was defaulted to English before the latest
 redesign of ReadOnlyBootPrompt. That was better because then the users
 sees that it will be English, and could choose to change to something
 else.

 ''ReadOnlyBootPrompt when the language is changed to Swedish and keymap is
 not touched. If installed this way, keymap will be US-international''
